The location is not bad, and the food is delicious.(local cuisine, etc.)The scenery is also good.However, the parking lot is small and fills up quickly, so you may have to park in a nearby parking lot.Overall, it's a good hotel.

I added 1 child and 1 adult to the travel agency, but when the kids hardly had anything to eat, Mr. Nakai brought a special little piece of fruit, which made me happy.I was glad that he cared about me.

There are love hotels on both sides, but the access to the city center is good, about a 10 minute walk. The breakfast is like that of a ryokan, and the food is simple but satisfying.

August 2024Probably because it was during the Obon period, the price for breakfast and parking for two people was 19,700 yen, twice as much as a normal day.It was a shame that even though it cost twice as much, they didn't even provide a bottle of water.The parking lot has no roof and requires walking under the hot sun. When I left the key, it was moved without permission.It was 700 yen, the same price as the covered parking lot under the hotel.The room had a Showa feel to it, and was occupied by a futon that had been drawn from the beginning.I was able to sleep very quietly at night.The public bath was easy to use, and the staff kept it tidy and clean.For breakfast the next morning, everyone was at the same venue and the breakfast set meal was prepared at the designated time, but I was struck by the sight of only whitebait on a plate of grilled fish.There are many helpful staff members, and it has a local feel, so I was able to tell a lot of stories about the Showa era to people born in the Heisei era.I enjoyed my one-night stay as a Showa era experience.

I purposely chose a Japanese-style room at a long-established hotel, but the toilet, or rather the unit bathroom, was smelly. The smell seemed to be coming from the drain, so I blocked the drain and the smell subsided. The room was old, but it was spacious enough for a single person to relax, and the view of the river from the room was relaxing. The parking lot is on the opposite side of the road from the river. There is also a 500 yen parking fee for motorcycles. It's a little far to go to Hirome Market and Kochi Castle, but it's not too far to walk. The breakfast is Japanese food, which I don't dislike, but it's not particularly distinctive.

I used it when I returned to Japan temporarily.I was so busy with my last-minute plans that I caused a lot of inconvenience at the reception. I was impressed by how kind and polite he was. The room was nicer and more atmospheric than I expected, and reminded me of the inn I stayed at with my family when I was little. My foreign husband was also happy. Good location and I'm satisfied. I would definitely like to stay here again when I come to Kochi! thank you very much.

It is a traditional Japanese-style inn suitable for relaxation, and is recommended for those who want to take a rest.I am from Hong Kong and came here with my Taiwanese friends.I am very lucky to stay in your hotel when I come to Kochi for the first time.⭐The hotel staff are very friendly, and they tried their best to help solve problems when we encountered them!⭐The hotel does not seem to have staff who speak foreign languages. If you don't know Japanese, it will be easier for both parties to use GOOGLE Translate to communicate.-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------⭐I stayed in a lake view room, which was very clean, with tatami mats and a lake view outside the window.⭐The lighting is very good, and there is a light-blocking paper door.(The hotel staff told me that the room was very small for 2 people, but in reality it was too big for me. The whole room could be big enough for 4 people to lie on the floor.)⭐The room is fully equipped with 1 large table and 1 small table, air conditioner, refrigerator, tea set, hair dryer, sterilizing spray, bathtub, dressing table, small drying rack, wardrobe, safe, etc.⭐There are snacks with specialties in the room, and the Ryoma Sencha is delicious.⭐There is an indoor balcony next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, with tables and chairs where you can relax.⭐The Japanese-style bed on the floor was laid in the room before check-in. The quilt was warmer than expected but not stuffy at all. The pattern was very beautiful. The pillows are hard pellets and sleep well.⭐ Regarding sound insulation, the walls of the room are relatively transparent, and the sound from next door will come through. Please be careful not to make noise when checking in.⭐The men's and women's bathhouses are on different floors. The bathhouse is open until 11 p.m., the hot water pool is small, and the changing room is fully equipped with hair dryers and other equipment.⭐Room cleaning: Just put the garbage and towels outside the door, and staff will clean them and replace them the next day.⭐You need to return the key to the counter when you go out, and pick it up from the counter when you come back.⭐Toothbrushes are waiting at the counter.-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------⭐There is a large waiting space in the hotel lobby, and there is a small souvenir shop in the hotel lobby.⭐Breakfast is in the banquet hall in the lobby, traditional Japanese breakfast, not a buffet.⭐There are about 6 steps at the entrance of the hotel⭐Go straight out of the main entrance of the hotel and you will see the shrine on the left. Walk straight from the bridge next to the shrine and you will reach Hiroshi Market in 10 minutes. (small road)⭐Go out of the main entrance of the hotel and go straight to the right side to the Chaojiang Bridge in front. Walk straight from the bridge for 10 minutes to reach the shopping street. (main road)⭐There is a driveway next to the hotel without any shops.Hotel videos can be searched on YT: @Relaxed_Travel

Apparently APA bought the old hotel. These are two Japanese-style rooms.The girls' bathroom is on the 1st floor.It feels like steam is dripping from the ceiling. I think there were 9 Karan aircraft?There is one bathtub in the center.The location is probably 7.8 minutes from Hirome Market.

The parking lot was a little far away, but the explanation of the location was easy to understand.Both the bath towel and face towel were well-made and absorbent.Hirome Market was just a short walk across the bridge over the Kagami River right in front of us.The breakfast typical of a Japanese inn was delicious!

I stayed here during Golden Week. Even though it was Golden Week, the price was reasonable, the breakfast was delicious, and the bath was relaxing. I was very grateful to the staff for being so responsive when I called them after returning home because I had forgotten something. Also, I will stay here when I go to Kochi Prefecture 😊

I was very satisfied with the spacious room, which was fairly close to the center, and included a large communal bath and a deluxe Japanese breakfast. I think it's the most respectful bacon and egg.
