Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Shikokuchuo
For most travelers, Kochi Airport (KCZ) is the most efficient choice; while it serves the nearby city of Kochi, it is the closest facility and provides the quickest access to Shikokuchuo. Travelers arriving at Osaka Itami Airport (ITM) or Kobe Airport (UKB), both of which serve nearby cities in the Kansai region, will find frequent public transport options, though travel times are longer due to the crossing back into Shikoku. Kansai International Airport (KIX) offers the most international connectivity but is significantly farther away, making it best for those already flying into Japan from abroad. Finally, Nanki Shirahama Airport (SHM) is a smaller, more remote option that is generally less convenient for reaching central Shikoku unless you are already exploring the Kii Peninsula. For the best experience, prioritize Kochi for speed or Kobe for budget-friendly ground transit connections, and always verify highway bus schedules in advance as they are often more direct than rail for cross-island travel.

It was good to be able to stay at a very cheap price even on three consecutive holidays. I was looking for a hotel near the station because there was no car, but this is not so far from the station and the employees were nice.
The room is large, the desk is large, and there are minimal amenities, so it's perfect if you just sleep. I want to stay here again next time. Kawanoe Castle seen from the window was niceFromUS$25

The cabin facilities and kitchenware are very complete and comfortable
But the entrance instructions are not clear and it is not easy to find. The stairs to the attic in the room are small and not strong. Even the whole stairs fall off, which causes me to be trapped in the attic. There is a risk of causing the tenant to fall and be trapped. It took a lot of time to deal with the waiting for the rescue. Good attitude but no explanation and compensation I hope to improve the safety of the most important facilities Otherwise, it is a pity that such a good and comfortable stayGreat2 Reviews

Costpa is good.
Since it is a container, I think it is prohibited to expect excessive performance.
I thought it was suitable for touring trips.
It faces the national highway, and the road noise is a favorite.
This time it was a box that was relatively far from the road, but the sound of the truck was quite heard.
That said, it wasn't always the case, so I didn't get stressed and I could sleep well.
Welcome coffee is delicious.
The warm environment was comfortable and I didn't care.
The service frozen lunch was normally eaten.
The shower head is high performance? And this was very comfortable and I wanted it at home.FromUS$27
