Hotels with WiFi in Kotohira

"Shuttle Service: When booking accommodations, there were only two ways to arrange a shuttle, and for some reason, my email only linked to a very old address I rarely use. My messages went unanswered. I also tried calling from other cities in Japan, but an automated Japanese voice service picked up. Thankfully, at JR Kotohira Station, there was an Information counter. A young, helpful service attendant who spoke simple English immediately called the hotel for me when she heard where I was staying. The car arrived in about 5 minutes. The shuttle driver, a slightly chubby young man with glasses, spoke excellent English. He was quite chatty and humorous, making the ride enjoyable. He also recommended a famous local udon restaurant and advised that climbing to the top of Konpira-san Shrine would take at least 2.5 hours (definitely allow more time if you want to look around carefully and take photos). Luggage Storage: We arrived at the hotel at 11 AM, dropped off our luggage, and headed straight for a meal before ascending Konpira-san. Upon returning to the hotel, our luggage had already been delivered directly to our room. Room: We booked a bit late, but for this price, in other major Japanese cities, you'd only get a quarter of the space. My friend commented that she could finally spread out her suitcase and organize her belongings. There was also a dressing room/vanity, though the lighting was a bit dim. In the evenings, we enjoyed tea on the balcony, which was a very pleasant spot to relax and enjoy the view. Our room offered a direct view of the hotel garden and pond, a wonderful experience. Restaurant: When booking, I chose the hotel's ”Sanuki Santoku” (Three Treasures of Sanuki) dining plan. The waiter escorted us to a table with a great view and explained each dish. The food was delicious, and I was absolutely stuffed (I have a small appetite). Most of the service staff appeared to be of Indian descent. Other Features: 1) I really loved the public lounge. In the evenings, the spacious design and soft lighting created a wonderful ambiance. It was very atmospheric to sit and slowly savor coffee/champagne (complimentary). 2) Our accommodation included one complimentary 45-minute private onsen session on the same floor as the lounge. It had a sofa and drinks, but only one shower stall, so if there were multiple people, we'd have to take turns. For me, the time was too short, and the water temperature wasn't as high as in the public bath. 3) The public bath had two pools. A smaller one outdoors, where the water was quite hot, and a sauna room, which was also very hot! I personally preferred the public bath."

"The room is specious for keeping 2 medium sized suitcases. The location is convenient with a Lawson and a supermarket downstairs. Staff are friendly. The only imperfect thing is the public bath is so small which could allow 4-5 guests to use."

"Im highy appreciated by the service provided by Ms. Sugimoto and Ms. Mastsumoto from the front desk. During my trip i have encountered some problem, they proactively provide assistance with their professional attitude which made me feeling heartful and respectful. Once again thank for their services and i will choose your hotel again if i come back to this place."

"There is a JR station pick-up service ', call early to make an appointment, the hotel is next to Omotesando, the room has a sauna, hot spring', big enough and clean, the front desk and restaurant service staff are very good. But the quality of dinner and breakfast is average, especially the breakfast is very poor, the quantity is large, the food is cool, 'The taste is light, the dumplings are not fresh, the chef please check it out, I have been to many hot spring hotels, even if the ordinary imperial meals, the breakfast is still delicious, this is obviously not to care about the whole. Waste of a good hotel."

"This hotel gave me a big surprise. The environment, service, facilities and food are all above average. What I like most is that the hot spring facilities are large and comfortable. There are also flower hot springs and all-you-can-drink Japanese sake. It is an extraordinary experience. Highly recommended!"

"The new location is just below the Kotohira-gu Shopping Street and also offers parking, making it suitable for those driving. The udon noodles served for late-night snacks are also delicious!"

"The location is great, and there's free parking. The newly renovated facility is clean, modern, and artistic. The room is spacious, and it has a mini fridge, hair dryer, and air conditioning. However, if you go alone, it might be scary to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. You can check in at the pretty cafe on the first floor. There's also an elevator."

"The staff was very kind and it was very helpful to respond to the arrangement of taxis. The rental hot spring was very clean and the hot spring was comfortable. I would like to use it again."

"It's conveniently located near Konpira Sando and both JR Kotohira Station and Kotoden Kotohira Station. The only amenities provided are a toothbrush set, and everything else can be picked up at the front desk. The only tea provided is tea bags, but I appreciated that they provided coffee in a cup to take home after breakfast. The Marunaka supermarket is just under a 15-minute walk away."
