My hobbies are road cycling and running. On my days off, I often go cycling along the Kinokawa River or up toward Mt. Koya, enjoying the seasonal breeze and local scenery. Through meeting fellow cyclists, I developed a strong desire to share the beauty of this area with more people — which eventually inspired me to open this guesthouse. What I love most about running this place is meeting people. When I talk with guests for the first time and hear about their journeys and what brought them here, it’s always inspiring. And when they say, “I’ll come back again,” it truly makes me happy. I find great meaning in seeing how new “circles of connection” are formed through each stay. Guesthouse Rin is a place where travelers can stop by, relax, and feel at home along their journey. Whether you wish to spend quiet time surrounded by nature, explore by bicycle, or simply feel the warmth of human connection, I hope this guesthouse will offer you a peaceful and heartwarming stay.
