I chose an inn based on hot springs and went to Sansuien.The customer service, food, room, and location were all good.The explanations and guidance were thorough and I was impressed.I was so full that I couldn't finish all the food. I don't usually like to eat sashimi, but the seared bonito was delicious and had no smell.Kochi Castle, Hirome Market, Sunday Market, and Harimaya Bridge are also within walking distance, so the location is good.It was my first trip to Kochi and I was very satisfied.

After checking in, I learned that it was a historic hotel.It is also close to Kochi Castle, making it a convenient location for walking around town. Hirome Market was also within walking distance.There is a large public bath in the main building, but the building is so spacious that it seemed like you might get lost.Anpanman was also in the lobby.Amenities are placed near the reception desk, so please pick up only what you need.

I stayed overnight on the way to the pilgrimage.The room was in the 2nd building and was clean.It had the style of a long-established inn, and the public bath was spacious.The Thursday market is held right in front of your doorstep, and Hirome Market is also within walking distance, making it convenient for sightseeing.It's a safe inn.

It's located very close to Kochi Castle, so I used it for a lecture and a social gathering, and I was very satisfied.I have heard that the food and customer service have improved significantly since the recent appointment of President Nakazawa.Even if you don't have a good impression of the past, please give it a try! It's getting better.

This is an evaluation of bathing facilities only.Sauna ★★★☆☆Water bath ★★★☆☆Rest area ★★★☆☆Hot spring ★★★★☆Customer manners ★★★★☆Cost performance ★★★☆☆Shower: hourly faucetLocker: Usually key typeShampoo/body soap: Yes◎Sauna room: 2 levels. The sauna room temperature on the day was 82℃.Low humidity. There is a mat. No TV or music.Water bath: Water temperature is high (feels like 20℃). Large area. Shallow depth.Rest area: 1 stone bench in the open air area. No comfortable chair.The atmosphere is good for a hot spring facility. As for the purpose, there are many things that are unsatisfactory. Day-trip hot springs are available from 10:00 to 16:00. Day-trip bathing fees will be revised from October 1, 2024. Adults ¥1100 → ¥1200.

I used the hot springs for a day trip.It was around 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was empty and reserved.The bathroom is very clean and the hot water is smooth to the touch.The staff at the front desk were very kind when I contacted them in advance to ask if it was possible to take a day trip to the hot springs.It seems that the Emperor and his wife also used it, and I understand why.I have an elderly mother, and I would like to take her there on a trip to fulfill her filial duties.It was a fun trip to Kochi.
