If you go by JR, it takes 4 minutes from Hakawa station to the back road of the direct climb, and you can climb up for about 5 minutes from there. The signboard is secretly out, but it's hard to find the road and it's dark after dark, and it's pretty slippery after rain, so turn around from the public road and turn the corner of the takoyaki shop and go in about 12 minutes ( The distance of about 900 meters on the road that appears on Google Maps, etc.) is recommended for people with normal shoes. Alternatively, you can take a taxi from Ino Station for less than 1000 yen (as of 2022) in 7-8 minutes. The hotel pick-up service is only at Ino Station at 16:00 (reservation required), so if the timing is right, I think it would be better to take it. The hotel looks like the facilities of a Kanpo inn in its heyday, but I think it's still relatively well-maintained. The only thing that bothered me was that the fluorescent lights in the room had dry insects in them, so it might be a good idea to clean them up once in a while. It may be unavoidable because it gathers at Akari. I stayed several nights during the pilgrimage and the Niyodo River activities, and I am generally very satisfied.
