We cherish these warm, human connections that make each journey special. The name “Rin” (輪) means “circle,” symbolizing the hope that smiles and friendships will continue to spread. With space for up to 10 guests, the guesthouse offers a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for both solo travelers and small groups.

My hobbies are road cycling and running. On my days off, I love cycling along the Kinokawa River or up toward Mount Koya, enjoying the seasonal breezes and the beautiful local scenery. Through connecting with fellow cyclists, I was inspired to share the charm of this town with more people — and that became the reason I started the guesthouse. What I enjoy most about running this place is meeting and connecting with the people who visit.
