I am an official member of the Shikoku 88, Bekkoku 20, and Shikoku 36 Fudo no Sacred Site Associations.I mainly post reviews that I think will be useful for walking pilgrimages.It's close to No. 55 Nankobo, so I've used it several times. We have strong ties with Imabari Shipbuilding, and our Tokyo office is located in Imabari Shipbuilding's Marine Building. This time, we had dinner at Iyoji, a Japanese restaurant. Is it a bit luxurious for a pilgrimage? 1st photoThe second photo is dinner on another day.

The hotel was a bit dated, but not in an unpleasant way. It felt a bit like staying in a luxurious hotel 20 years in the past. The onsen was lovely and it was a great place to start the first leg of my cycling trip.The breakfast buffet was disappointing so I would recommend skipping it. Everything was clean and well maintained and I would stay again.

I stayed overnight on the way to the pilgrimage.I didn't have high expectations, but I was surprised when I went.It's a gorgeous hotel that doesn't suit the location, and it's probably built during the bubble economy.It's very clean, and the large public bath and open-air bath are hot springs.It appears to be operated by a subsidiary of Imabari Shipbuilding, the largest shipbuilding company. It's a hotel you'll be happy to know.The breakfast buffet in the morning was fun, and the whitebait was very delicious.As an international hotel, there is nothing to complain about, and I would like to stay at this hotel again if I come to the Imabari area.

I stayed at the new building 301 on a tour. The room was okay, but there was so much dust that I wondered if it had been cleaned on the connecting passageway between the main building and the new building, and on the waist walls of the hallway on the floor. Did you open it even though you don't usually use it because you were a group visitor?At the entrance to the public bath, you will receive a key and a face towel (limited to one comb, shaver, and razor). The key is the common number for the shoe box and locker. There were 3 staff members at the entrance and I felt a little pressured. You can see how crowded the place is on the TV in your room, but even if the place is empty, there are only a few washrooms and you may have to wait. The open-air bath is a hot spring (salty). You can relax and soak in the warm water.

The lobby, hallways, and rooms are perfectly clean!I stayed with a group of pilgrims, and everyone praised it. There are such good hotels in Shikoku. If I have a chance, I would definitely like to stay there again. Unfortunately, I was not feeling well, so they gave me the location of a pharmacy and a mask. Also, thank you for the quick delivery even though I forgot my smartphone and called in a hurry.
