This lodging is located right past Nagaokayama tunnel. Pilgrims are allowed to stay for a max of 2 nights only. If you arrive too early, make sure you don’t disturb pilgrims that may still be sleeping in.

Please Note

Zenkonyado are mostly community-supported passion projects built exclusively for walking pilgrims. If you have the means, we recommend that you opt for one of the plentiful paid lodging alternatives, and leave zenkonyado as a last resort for pilgrims in trouble. Please try not to plan your itinerary around zenkonyado stays. Read more about them here.

How are walking times calculated?

Walking times are estimated with a modified approach to Naismith’s rule to account for elevation gains/losses and other practical considerations that require a more conservative bias. The basis of our calculations assumes a speed of 4 kilometers per hour on flat land. Learn more here.
