In questa lista stampabile potete trovare i diversi tipi di alloggio tra i quali scegliere, durante il vostro cammino in Giappone.
Per comodità riportiamo le categorie:
Termini utili dei diversi posti per dormire
– Tsūyadō (通夜堂) = Sono sistemazioni gratuite (solitamente) per pellegrini, a piedi o in bici, messe a disposizione dai templi. Solitamente tettoie o altre strutture al chiuso all’interno del complesso, ma molto spartane. Non aspettatevi nulla di simile agli albergue spagnoli. Arrivare prima delle 17.00 e, durante le stagioni di picco (primavera e autunno), è meglio avvisare in anticipo perché alcuni templi non mischiano i sessi e hanno una sola stanza.
– Zenkonyado (善根宿) = Sistemazioni gratuite/economiche messe a disposizione dai locali per i pellegrini a piedi o in bici.
– Zenninyado (善人宿) = Sistemazine gratuita offerta ai pellegrini in casa propria da parte di un privato.
Michi no Eki (道の駅) = Letteralmente stazione a lato della strada (quelle sulla lista hanno un’are di sto esterna con una tettoia)
– Henro Goya (遍路小屋・へんろ小屋) = Henro rest huts. Tettoia di riparo appositamente costruite per i pellegrini in cammino. Ecco una lista con la mappa (in giapponese): ヘンロ小屋の案内.
– Daishido (大師堂) = Piccoli Shrine (shinto shrine). Visitati solo quelli in lista. Siccome sono gestiti dalle comunità, è sempre meglio chiedere ai locali prima di accedervi. Alcuni necessitano di chiavi per accedervi. Siete pregati di pulire per chi verrà dopo di voi e rimettere tutto in ordine. Alcuni hanno chiuso durante l’ultimo anno.
四阿 /東屋 / 休息所 = rest huts tettoie
– Unattended Train Stations = questo sono stazioni più piccole nei paesi, o nei sobborghi, tra le città; molte sono dotate di bagni puliti.
– Minshuku (民宿) / Ryokan (旅館) = Sistemazioni a pagamento (tipico hotel stile giapponese, solitamente a conduzione famigliare)
– Sudomari (素泊まり) = Renotare per la notte, senza cena e senza colazione. E’ un trattamento speciale riservato ai pellegrini. Si può dire ‘Sudomari onegaishimasu’ al momento della prenotazione, così il ryokan sa di non preparare pasti. Di solito la prenotazione normale include cena e colazione.

Hut at Iyadani OnsenFureai Park Mino (water, toilet), just under #71. I didn’t notice the hut, but the complex has enough benches, secluded corners and rooftop patios to sleep in. There is a discount coupon (1500 JPY to 1200 JPY) for henro (which are placed in the temple stamp offices roughly from Temple 66). You can sleep in the onsen until they close at midnight.
Note: Be cautious of the temple lodgings listed below.
I asked at most of the temples in Kagawa whether they had lodging, and despite being listed in both the English and Japanese versions, I was was told point blank that they didn’t. I spoke to henro about this later on and learned down the henro grapevine that Kagawa has had a history of wanting to discourage foreign henro. I’m not sure if the lists are just outdated or whether the above is still true. Either case, I wish you the best in your lodging hunt!

Questi sono dati vecchi, aggiornati più volte da diverse persone che hanno fatto il cammino. E’ possibile che nel corso degli anni siano cambiati i prezzi e che alcuni posti siano chiusi, ma che ve ne siano anche di nuovi non ancora segnalati. Se decidete di partire non fate affidamento solo a questi. Controllate sempre sui siti giapponesi e inglesi se esistono liste come queste aggiornate. Quando ne avrete recuperate almeno due o tre, fate un confronto e stilate la vostar lista personale sui posti che secondo voi vi danno più sicurezza. Forse è una delle parti più belle del viaggio. I posti con la V sono quelli dove ho personalmente dormito. (più sono le V, più sono stato bene).
