Compared to other regions of Japan, lodging options along the Shikoku Pilgrimage\u2014especially in non-touristy areas\u2014are relatively scarce. So why did I decide to compile this list? Precisely because it\u2019s less popular and harder to find information. I spent a long time digging through resources before my trip, which inspired me to share these carefully curated accommodations along the pilgrimage route. I hope this guide helps future pilgrims on their journey.<\/p>\n

Accommodations are a significant part of the pilgrimage culture. The way guesthouse owners treat pilgrims often reflects the deep respect people in Shikoku have for K\u016bkai, the founder of this sacred path.<\/p>\n

The accommodations are listed in the order of the pilgrimage route: Tokushima \u2192 K\u014dchi \u2192 Ehime \u2192 Kagawa. Prices are calculated based on solo travelers.<\/p>\n

\u3002How to Find Accommodations on the Shikoku Pilgrimage?<\/span><\/h6>\n

The 88 temples are scattered across countryside, mountains, coastal capes, and urban areas. For pilgrims, choosing where to stay follows the same logic as real estate: Location, location, location! In rural areas, you won\u2019t find hotel chains. The best-case scenario is staying near the last temple visited that day or the first one planned for the next day. Another important factor is whether the guesthouse offers one night, two meals. Many parts of the route are remote, with no restaurants or stores nearby\u2014surviving on crackers and energy bars alone can be quite disheartening.<\/p>\n

After 45 days of experience, I managed to book all my accommodations using just Google Maps and a resource called Minna no Henro (Pilgrim Accommodations). Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

01\uff5cGoogle Maps<\/h6>\n

Estimate how many kilometers you can walk each day based on your pace. Then, map out your daily route from Point A to Point B on Google Maps. Check if there are any bed icons (indicating lodgings) near Point B. Most listings on Google Maps include a phone number, and some even link to a booking site.<\/p>\n

02\uff5cMinna No Henro (Inn)<\/a><\/h6>\n

This is a wonderfully curated site made by veteran pilgrims. Simply click on \u201cLocation\u201d to search for accommodations near any temple. The information is well-organized and incredibly helpful! That said, some of the prices and payment methods might not be up to date, so it\u2019s best to double-check with the hosts when booking.<\/p>\n

\u3002Recommended Payment Method<\/span><\/h6>\n

As more people embark on pilgrimages, many minshuku have updated their payment systems. While cash was once the only option, many now gradually accept PayPay, the most widely used mobile payment method in Japan. Among the mobile payment options from Taiwan that support PayPay, I\u2019ve found PXP Pay (\u5168\u652f\u4ed8) to be the most stable. I highly recommend that pilgrims heading to Shikoku download and activate Taiwan Pay in advance\u2014it will automatically switch to PayPay once you're in Japan, making transactions super convenient!<\/p>\n

Honestly, for this price, I can overlook the leftover leaves, twigs, and pain-relief patches\u2014presumably carried down from Sh\u014dsan-ji by the previous guest\u2014and even the unemptied trash bin in the restroom, because the food was that good.<\/p>\n

Despite the language barrier, she kept chatting with me and went out of her way to help with my bathing and laundry needs. The room was charming and comfortable, the bath was soothing, and the fish dinner was absolutely delicious. Plus, it\u2019s located right across from Cape Muroto\u2014one of Japan\u2019s eight scenic spots. Outstanding location!<\/p>\n

\nReview: A budget-friendly hostel located in central Kochi, with easy access to shopping. The beds and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. However, it lacks an elevator\u2014so you\u2019ll need to carry your luggage up and down stairs\u2014and the entrance area isn\u2019t fully sheltered from rain. The lounge wasn\u2019t open during my stay, possibly due to low occupancy. Overall, there might be better options in Kochi City.<\/p>\n

The amenities here are surprisingly thorough, including items rarely found in other hotels such as mouthwash, interdental brushes, bath salts, and even small snacks. Although the posted price for laundry and drying is \u00a5770, the front desk staff kindly offered it for free\u2014perhaps because I was on pilgrimage. I was truly grateful for their generosity.<\/p>\n

In the restaurant, there is a fascinating display of a collection of pilgrimage stamp books gathered by the owner\u2019s mother in 1979 from the 88 temples\u2014definitely worth seeing. Within a 6-minute walk is the Seseragi Roadside Rest Area, where you can purchase bento boxes and drinks.<\/p>\n

\nReview: The inn is about a 30-minute walk from the Iwaya-ji parking lot. It\u2019s highly recommended to leave your luggage there first, as the walk from the parking lot to the temple itself takes an additional 20 minutes over steep slopes and stone steps. Dinner and the hot springs are both excellent, and since there are few accommodations nearby, the location is a major advantage. The downside is the weak Wi-Fi signal throughout the building, so streaming videos or large data transfers may take some time.<\/p>\n

\nReview: This place feels like a youth hostel with slightly larger beds. Note that neither the rooms nor the bathrooms can be locked, so it\u2019s not suitable for those who value privacy or are concerned about security. Most of the guests during my stay were motorcycle riders\u2014they were friendly and the overall atmosphere felt safe.

\nReview: When I first arrived and saw the \"Karaoke\" sign, I was startled\u2014but it turns out the building has been remodeled into a guesthouse for pilgrims and cyclists.\nThe room was cozy and clean, although the economy triple room doesn\u2019t have a sink, so I had to go downstairs to use the restroom. There\u2019s also only one shower available, which might be a drawback for some. The owner was incredibly kind\u2014she offered to do my laundry free of charge and even gave me rice balls and fruit in the morning. I was truly touched by her generosity; meeting such warm-hearted people on the pilgrimage is a real blessing. Within a 10-minute walk, you\u2019ll find a Sogo Mart and a drugstore, so getting food and supplies is convenient.
<\/p>\n

Note: The booking site states that check-in is from 3 PM, but in reality, it's 4 PM\u2014arriving later will help avoid disturbing the owner.<\/p>\n

\nReview: Highly recommended! This hotel truly lives up to the \u201cSuper\u201d in its name\u2014it\u2019s the kind of place you\u2019ll want to return to again and again. The amenities are impressively refined. In addition to the usual items, they offer face masks, bath salts, body lotion, facial cleanser, and hair conditioner. You can even choose your preferred pillow at check-in\u2014I was so excited I nearly lost control! The hot spring and women-only bathing area are also fantastic.<\/p>\n

From 6 PM to 9 PM, they offer complimentary alcoholic drinks\u2014you can even mix your own cocktails using the vending machine!
\nBreakfast is incredibly generous and varied. The bread was so good, it could rival that of a specialty bakery. Within a 5-minute walk, you\u2019ll find a Fuji supermarket, a sportswear store, and a drugstore, making it easy to grab food or daily essentials.<\/p>\n

\nReview: Located at the foot of Unpen-ji, Minshuku Okada is a top choice for many pilgrims thanks to its ideal location. The restaurant walls are filled with photos that show just how beloved this guesthouse\u2014and the Okada couple\u2014are. After a delicious dinner, Grandpa Okada, who is nearly 100 years old, gave each guest a hand-drawn map, sparking a warm and lively conversation about how to tackle the climb to Unpen-ji the next day. I absolutely loved the sense of community here!<\/p>\n

\nReview: The hostess at Minshuku Aozoraya is incredibly warm and welcoming. It's rare to meet someone who's been running a guesthouse for over 20 years and still treats each guest so kindly. Her cooking is also fantastic\u2014her grilled meat at dinner was so good I ended up having an extra bowl of rice! She even prepared a sandwich for me to take with me in the morning, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bath had a spacious tub\u2014perfect for relaxing after conquering the challenging climb to Unpen-ji.<\/p>\n

However, if you're staying here after Minshuku Okada the previous night, you might arrive a bit early. Many pilgrims choose to continue on to Daiko-ji instead, depending on their pace and preference.<\/p>\n
