Best Four Star Hotels in Kotohira

We just returned from a quick but memorable trip to Shikoku. We stayed at Kotohira Kadan for our first night since it's conveniently situated to enjoy some of the finest Sanuki Udon noodle restaurants in the area (we chose not to explore Kotohira-gu (aka ”Konpira-san”) - that will be reserved for a next visit.) While we enjoy modern rooms as much as the next person, we also appreciate traditional architecture, furnishings and decor... and Chouseiden (長生殿), Kotohira Kadan's top room, oozed history and tradition in a way that left us with a lasting impression. Chouseiden is one of a handful of stand-alone villas at the ryokan, and was inhabited by the local Lord many years ago. It's also liberally adorned with the art collection of the original owner Kotohira Kadan, including ancient folding screens, sliding doors and hanging scrolls that were produced by famous artists. It's so history-laden that it is bound to creep some people out... I don't think Mrs. KI-NRT would ever choose to live in such a room, but as an ”experience” it was well worth the privilege of trying out Chouseiden. It does have the comforts of a modern ryokan/hotel, such as toilets with washlets, fast WiFi and Western-style beds, and boasts 152m² of total living space, which is generous by any definition of a flagship ryokan room. The only drawback was the lack of a private Onsen (natural hot springs) bath in the room - something we've come to expect at top-level ryokans, at least (and especially) in their top rooms. Some of the standard rooms do offer in-room Onsen baths, however, which might tip the scales to the non-villa rooms' favor for some people. As a consolation, Kotohira Kadan offers the use of their private bath (which can be rented out by the hour), and it's free for guests staying at one of the Hanare Villa rooms. Food was served in our room, and it was a delight. While it's not the best ryokan meal we've ever had, we appreciated the efforts taken by the kitchen staff to offer seasonal and local dishes that gave us a good taste of Kagawa. In particular, the deep-fried Pike Conger with simmered vegetables doused in a dashi broth was unique and flavorful, as well as the Red Sea Bream Shabu Shabu (Hot Pot.) Breakfast was also varied and bountiful, although nothing really blew us away, which is just as well, since we were planning to go on an Udon tasting expedition beginning later that morning. The grounds are not massive, but there's a pretty little pond with some interesting vegetation around it. And the architecture of the Hanare Villas (including Chouseiden) give Kotohira Kadan a real sense of place given its proximity to Kotohira-gu. Keep in mind that the property is quite large when it comes to room count (43 total), so there may be some walking between your room and the main reception and lounge areas (from Chouseiden, you'll need to walk outside for a short distance - fine if the weather is cooperating.) Service is not up to the standards set by top luxury r

We stayed for two nights and booked Kaiseki cuisine for dinner at the hotel on the first night. The kaiseki cuisine provided by the hotel is satisfactory in terms of dishes and portion size, and the restaurant environment is very spacious.

, iwI am the big fan of Kyoritsu Resort and stayed every time we have opportunity at various locations. This is among the one of the best Kyoritsu Resort I've stayed. Location is in the middle of Omotesando to Konpira-san, on the beautiful old fashioned street. We stayed at Triple room with 2 bedrooms, 1 with Queen and 2 twin in living room with sofa. There's small shower in the room with double vanity, separate toilet. Room was very spacious, private and well, well, well stocked. 4 sets of glasses, coffee cups, tea cups, coffee grinder, water in fridge, vanity table with small chairs, 2 closets etc. etc. Cannot complain anything. Dinner was served either 5:30am and 8pm. Service is slow but you'll get to finish in about 1.5hrs. There were 4 private lockable bathroom PLUS large women/men separate bathroom. We didn't have issue using private bathroom, always has at least 1 available and kept well clean. There was lounge next to bathrooms with water, ice pops. Also free washer/dryer (2 each) which was really help. I love this hotel, design and interior are perfect, I can't wait to come back and stay again. If you are driving, you may park right in front of main entrance and drop off luggage. Parking is in the rear of building. You have to be careful not to past the small road to go to rear of main building bc road is VERY narrow, easy to miss.

近年宿泊した中で一番と言っても過言ではないくらい良かったです。 大人も子供も満足でした。 ★部屋★ 大人２名・子供２名 ４人でも広く感じました。 和室で、１９時頃お布団を敷きに来てもらいました。 私は枕が変わると寝れないのですが、硬くもなくフワフワし過ぎもなくでぐっすり寝れました。 トイレとお風呂が一緒でしたが、温泉なので部屋のお風呂は使うことはありませんでした。 狭いけど特に気になりません。 ★温泉★ 最高でした。 脱衣所にタオルが置いてあったので、わざわざ部屋にあるタオルを持って行く必要がなかったです。 露天風呂も、タイルで滑りやすいとかなく歩きやすかったです。 子供と入りましたが、ほんっとに楽しかったです。 朝も入浴しました。 以前湯当たりしたことがあったのであまり朝は入らないのですが、ここの温泉は熱過ぎずのぼせることもなかったです。 朝と夜では男女入れ替わります。 どちらも良かったです。 ★その他★ 仲居さんもとてもフレンドリーで、感じが良かったです。 旅館の前で入り口から離れたところで家族写真をお願いしても、笑顔で対応していただきました。 一眼レフでお願いしたのに、せっかくだから携帯でもと言っていただきました。 館内も清潔でした。 子供もかなり満足したようで、絶対にまた泊まりたいと言っております。 次の日に金比羅山に登りましたが、そのまま車を停めておいてよかったし、杖も無料で貸し出しをしてくれました。 四国は初めてだったけどほんっとに楽しかったです。 売店の商品も充実してました。 ししゃもねこにハマってしまって、売店でもグッズが売ってあり買いました。

They couldn’t find our reservation when we arrived but we were given the same price that we had reserved it at. It was a good place to stay for one night and across from a supermarket. There’s a convenience store located next door but not a lot of choices nearby for meals. We had to walk almost a kilometer to a restaurant that we wanted to try. The breakfast buffet was simple but sufficient and it was not crowded. There’s a coffee machine that you can use anytime. There is a family floor that has a microwave and a kitchen that can be used. They offer some instant noodles after 930 pm.

The location of Ctrip's hotel was incorrectly marked, and it was actually on another street. After exiting jr, go straight to the T-junction and turn left. The hotel is about 100 meters away. The hotels in the Kotohira area are all medium and large hotels, and it is said that the hotel has a history. Therefore, the room facilities in the hotel are very old, and the exhaust fan in the bathroom of the room we live in makes a loud noise. The air conditioner is dirty and dare not use it. The public bathroom has been renovated, but it is not too big. The mixed bathing on the top floor is for bathing suits, so don’t worry too much. There are several Taiwanese students working as waiters in the hotel. The hotel will write the name of the guest who checked in at the door. Hotels often receive tourist groups, maybe because it is cheap? When you leave the hotel, turn left and there is a 711 convenience store. Basically all the shops in Kotohira are closed at night, so you must book dinner at the hotel. But the breakfast and dinner at the hotel are not very tasty, and they are simple and not classy. In addition, if you have a Shikoku pass, you can get a coupon at the tourist office of the jr station. Take the coupon to the hotel and get a free drink, coffee, orange juice, and tea. Choose one of three. There are many old-fashioned hotels in the Kotohira area, and the conditions are relatively average. Only a few are large and renovated.

Everything is very good, the equipment is perfect, the space is large, and the parking is very convenient, but one of the tatami bedding has a big long-term smell in the cabinet, and it is solved by changing one by itself.

Newly opened on 5/1/2019. Netflix Available. Watch anime and movies as much as you'd like

The first visit to Kimhira San for a couple. The hot spring inn for you was taken care of here with a full room. The location is outstanding and it is perfect as a base for sightseeing. The response was not bad, such as parking the car the next day of the stay, and lending the worship wand for free. On the other hand, the slightly old facilities were very good, and the room we stayed in was dark with lighting, the bathroom key was broken and not closed, and the door of the closet was not closed properly. Also, I think breakfast is unavoidable in this corona cherry blossom, but cold omelette and muffin (this was warmed) with croissants, corn soup, It was lonely only with fruit yogurt. There were three kinds of sweet juices for drinks, but there was no milk or tomato juice that I wanted to drink. It is enough to come and stay at work, but it was now one to stay on a couple trip. I went to see it because I received a ticket to take a bath in the inn called cherry blossoms of the sister hall, but it is honest that I wanted to stay here. It may be no choice to stay at a business hotel in a tourist destination like this place, but it is only a little more to accompany tourists like us I hope you can.
