I used it on my pilgrimage. It was very convenient because you could get your own key and enter the room by having your ID verified in advance by email. Unfortunately, they are not serving Spanish food at the moment, but I was able to eat local cuisine made by a local mother and it was delicious. they are very kind. The owner told me everything via message.Accommodations along the pilgrimage are cheap, but not very clean, and the Japanese-style futons give me back pain, but I slept well on the comfortable bed here. We also took a dip in the small pool in the garden and drank beer. You can recover from your tired feet at the hot spring right in front of you. It is especially recommended for foreigners on the pilgrimage. I will come on a pilgrimage next year as well.

There is no better guest house in the area, normally in this area of Japan they are all unrestored traditional houses with futon sleeping on the floor and practically the same price. Sakura Home is all new and clean, in the UNESCO center and in front of the hot spring spa. Now there is the small pool to cool off and enjoy. Recommended 100%
Pro Critic
2/5
Onsite cup noodle or rice is not free as said from previous comment. Laundry is unreasonably expensive (wash 500yen, dry 600yen = 1100yen total). Room is 8400yen… so total paid for 9500yen… a lot more than expected, more expensive than most good hotels

There is currently no food available here.I can't find the parking lot even if I look it up on Google Maps.If you look around from where the parking lot is written on the gate, you will see a signboard about that location.The people at the hostel basically never meet each other.When I made a reservation on Booking.com, it said that there was a self-check-in system, but I made the reservation without understanding it, so I had a little difficulty.The PIN I received from Booking.com had unrelated numbers written on it and could not be used to unlock the door. I called the host and asked him to tell me.I stayed in the room with the blue key.It seemed like I could get one cup noodle, so I got it.There was an electric kettle in the room to boil water. However, there was an odd amount of water in it, which seemed to have been used by the person in front of me.There are stairs to get to the roomThere is no toilet or bath in the room.Everything is in the shared spacethe bed was normal

I do not recommend this accommodation for pilgrims. As a walking pilgrim, I paid 7,700 yen (accommodation fee ∶ 6,600 yen + washing machine and dryer usage fee ∶ 1,100 yen) for "overnight stay" (5/21/2023). Pilgrims can stay in a private room or guest house with half board for less than 6,500 yen around Muroto. On the other hand, this inn focuses on home renovation in various aspects and is comfortable. If you are a tourist who wants to experience Spain or want to stay in a comfortably renovated inn, please try staying here.As a pilgrim walking the 88 temples, I stayed here for one night without any meal service on 5/21/2023. The total came out to be 7700 yen (one night & no meals cost: 6600 yen + washing machine and drying machine cost If you're a pilgrim, I wouldn't recommend this place. There are <6500 yen options around the Muroto area that will offer you your own room, breakfast, dinner, and enough comfort to get a good night's rest. Meanwhile, if you're a tourist wanting to experience a bit of Spain and/or are comfortable paying a premium price for the house's many renovations, this would be a viable option for you.

Kochi, but only here in Spain🇪🇸😄El Flamenquito is run by a wonderful couple. Reservations required.Super delicious paella made by the owner from Valencia, the birthplace of paella 🥘First of all, if you eat it as is, the flavor of the seafood will soak into the rice and it will be delicious😋Next, add lemon for a different taste 🍋 This is also refreshing and delicious 😋😋Furthermore, when you add the secret alioli sauce, the garlic is effective and it is delicious again 😋😋😋The raw ham, pickles, and olives were all delicious 😄 I was also happy that the salad used vegetables grown in Kochi 😊 I never thought that just adding Muroto salt and extra virgin oil could make such a delicious salad 🥗😄The terrace seats surrounded by tiles and the blue sky are just like Spain 😊 Just by clapping from the cheerful host, the place instantly becomes a tablao atmosphere 💃 The conversation with his wife is lively, and the time flies by has passed😄This is Spain🇪🇸I'm so grateful that we had a really fun time😊I felt like I was back in my favorite Spain🤣Thank you for coming to Kochi! I will stop by again 😉
