Stay at a Sacred Temple—A Pilgrim’s Haven of Hot Springs and Serenity
Nestled within the grounds of Anrakuji, the 6th temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, Henro RV Park Anrakuji offers an exceptional experience for car travelers seeking both comfort and spiritual peace. Guests staying in their vehicles can enjoy the rare privilege of soaking in a hot spring believed to enhance beauty—linked to the legacy of Kobo Daishi—as well as attending the evening Buddhist service, which adds a deeply spiritual layer to the journey. The site is well-equipped with electricity, water, garbage disposal, coin laundry, and is pet-friendly, ensuring a pleasant stay for those in campervans or compact cars. On a quiet night, the temple bells ring through the air, and in the morning, joining the temple’s rituals gently resets the mind and body—making this a profoundly pilgrim-oriented lodging experience.
