Tabi-no-yado Kiri-no-mine

Shikoku


This one-stop shop in the car park at Mi-no-koshi has all the bases covered, with a restaurant, a gift shop and a minshuku, all within a minute's walk of the chairlift station. Rooms are small and facilities shared, but there is a bath for tired hikers and laundry facilities that guests can use.
