This was my 4th time using it. There are cheaper hotels closer to the station for the Saijo Festival, but I always stay here. Delicious breakfast, washer/dryer, free massage machine, etc. I'll be back next year.

Whenever I go to Shikoku, I always stay at this hotel. This was my first time in 3 years. There was an unmanned check machine.The bicycle parking lot was full, so I was directed to the adjacent Piru area with a roof.There are free drinks and the breakfast is delicious.This hotel is more than worth the price.

Thank you for your help during my solo touring in Kyushu and Shikoku.We parked our bikes in the parking lot under the eaves of the front entrance (but I think the number of bikes is limited).I was satisfied with my bicycle parking position.The hotel is reasonably priced, and I feel like they pay attention to every detail.Considering the price of accommodation, this is the best preparation and service.This is a highly recommended inn, even for non-motorcycle users.

You won't find such comfort at this price anywhere else. As I wrote in the paper questionnaire at the hotel, it was amazing! Thank you to all the staff! That's how I feel.Specifically, the check-in instructions were thorough and comfortable, the fact that you were allowed to wear separate clothes in the hotel (quite important, one less piece of luggage!), and the breakfast was excellent and included plenty of vegetables! I also found that the massage chair, which I was not good at, was surprisingly comfortable, and it's no wonder that other people's reviews were good. I was able to use the pillows and other rental items, which was very helpful.And the water is really delicious. I will go again.
