Kokumin-shukusha FURUIWAYASŌ

An inn that stands right in front of scenically beautiful Furuiwaya, where you can enjoy hot spring baths and game animal dinners

An inn conveniently located if you want to visit the scenically-beautiful Furuiwaya Prefectural Natural Park, the 44th temple of Shikoku’s 88-temple pilgrimage Daihō-ji, and the 45th temple Iwaya-ji. As the inn offers the option to soak in the natural bath without staying the night, many pilgrims and hikers stop by to sooth their travel-fatigued bodies. The restaurant serves meals made with river fish and game animals such as pheasant and boar that you can only get in a mountain village. There is no doubt that you will enjoy the dishes adorned with seasonal foods here. The beautiful landscape of Furuiwaya can be observed from the guestrooms. The best time to view the fall foliage at Furuiwaya is early- to mid-November. Bicycles are available for rental.
