Information Around the Bus Stops

There are convenience stores and restaurants around the bus stops in Muroto. However, there are very few convenience stores near the other bus stops along the route, so it is recommended to prepare any necessary supplies in advance.

Nahari, located before Tōnohama, is a relatively convenient area. It has a railway station, convenience stores, restaurants, and accommodations.

In addition, the 27th temple, Konomineji Temple, is located at an elevation of approximately 430 meters and is known as one of the more challenging temples to reach. Staying overnight around Nahari before continuing the pilgrimage may be a good option.
