Any recommendations for affordable hotels for the Shikoku Pilgrimage?

Question

If you are going on a pilgrimage around Shikoku, we recommend the Toyoko Inn Takamatsu Hyogomachi as your first accommodation. Toyoko Inn is a business hotel chain with branches all over the country, so once you learn the check-in procedure, it will work everywhere.

If you're looking for the perfect base for both the Shikoku Pilgrimage and exploring Matsuyama, Toyoko INN Matsuyama Ichibancho is in an unbeatable location. There's a streetcar station right in front of the hotel, giving you easy access to the famous Dogo Onsen and Matsuyama Castle. Of course, it's also convenient for reaching Ishite-ji (Temple 51 on the pilgrimage route). As a well-known hotel chain throughout Japan, you can count on the rooms being clean and comfortable.

What's great about Hotel Patio Dogo is that you can soothe the weariness from your Shikoku Pilgrimage in the waters of Dogo Onsen, known as Japan's oldest hot spring. The hotel has its own large, communal hot spring bath, so you can enjoy the renowned waters without even stepping outside. Of course, the famous Dogo Onsen Main Building is also just a short walk away. The best part is that the hotel is within walking distance from Ishite-ji (Temple 51), so soaking in the onsen right after your temple visit is an incredible experience.

It's cheap at around 5,000 yen for a one-night stay without meals. There are izakayas, supermarkets, and home improvement stores around the hotel, so you won't have any trouble finding something to eat. It's also not that far from the station, a 15-minute walk from JR Zentsuji Station. It's close to Zentsuji, a 10-minute walk away. The next temple, Kinzoji, is about a 20-minute walk away, so it's a conveniently located hotel.
