A Hilltop Haven Wrapped in Smiles and Citrus-Scented Baths

With two Japanese-style rooms and one Western-style room, the inn offers a homey, comforting atmosphere—like staying at a relative’s house. The hostess’s warm hospitality is especially praised, gently lifting the spirits and fatigue of weary walkers. Facilities such as a washing machine, dryer, and Wi-Fi are fully available, ensuring convenience during long journeys.

The hotel is located after the 18th and 19th stops from Tokushima city. I chose it because it wasn’t far from number 20. However, due to blistering shoes and the heat, I had no choice but to give up on my future plans, and I couldn’t sleep due to the disappointment and was feeling pretty depressed, but the owner’s warm, homely treatment and smile made me feel at ease and very soothing. . thank you for helping me.
