The inn was run by a very kind owner who puts all his effort into thinking about the pilgrims. The delicious home-cooked meals and warm hospitality helped to soothe my tired body and mind.

In the heavy rain, they came to pick me up halfway and then took me to the next temple the next day. It was like a blessing in disguise. Thank you so much.

I stayed here in late May 2026 during a short “sampling” pilgrimage. Although this may sound a bit blunt, considering the price, the facilities and service were outstanding. The property was kept very clean, and while breakfast may not be luxurious, it was more than sufficient and satisfying.

The location is also excellent, less than a 10-minute walk from JR Anan Station on the Mugi Line. After visiting Onzan-ji and Tatsue-ji the previous day, I stayed here and then left most of my luggage at the hotel, carrying only the essentials while walking the famous “Henro Korogashi” route over Tsurugi-ji and Tairyu-ji. After descending the mountain, I returned to Anan Station by bus and stayed another night. On the third day, I took the train from Anan to Arawa Station and comfortably continued my pilgrimage to Byōdō-ji (Temple 22) and Yakuō-ji (Temple 23).

I had previously stayed here during a pilgrimage tour by jumbo taxi last spring and remembered it very positively, so I chose this hotel again for my walking pilgrimage. The staff’s understanding and respect for pilgrims made my stay especially enjoyable.

If I were to mention a few minor points for future improvement—without considering the very reasonable price—I found the Twin A room a little small and would appreciate a slightly more spacious option like Twin C. The air conditioner was somewhat difficult to adjust, and the toilet seat in the unit bathroom would not stay open, while the seat heater was not working. These are not major issues, and I understand they require investment, but I would be happy if they could be improved in the future.

There is a hearth in the hall and it is a very nice atmosphere. Overall it was clean and had a comfortable stay.

On May 13th, I had a hard time on the pilgrimage. Thank you for picking me up. The room with the sunken hearth was also good, and the interior was also tasteful and very good. The landlady was also very kind and nice.

It is a very nice inn.
A room based on wood that makes you feel like you are in a cottage in the forest.
The owner was also very kind and picked us up.
I would love to stay again.

Stayed between Kakurin-ji and Tairyu-ji. I had you pick me up. There is a bath and toilet in the room in an old private house-style Western-style room with a good atmosphere. I am grateful for the beautiful and gentle consideration of the proprietress. i would recommend.

I stayed with her on October 21st during the Tokushima Ikkoku Uchi pilgrimage. The landlady was a lovely, kind and beautiful woman. I am 82 years old and my husband is 86, and this was my first time walking the pilgrimage, so I am very grateful for her concern even before we stayed.
I followed the landlady’s valuable advice and was able to complete the pilgrimage safely.
Thank you so much.
