Hotels With spa in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan

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 quite compact, with a 1.4-meter double bed, leaving very limited space to move around. The hot springs on the hotel's top floor are a definite bonus! They offer complimentary ice cream (3:00 PM - 12:00 AM) and Yakult (5:00 AM - 10:00 AM). After 9:30 PM, you can also enjoy hot spring ramen. For breakfast, they serve udon with tempura, which is very authentic and delicious. As for transportation, take the bus from Takamatsu Airport to Chuo Koen-mae (Central Park). After getting off, walk back a bit, and you'll see the Dormy Inn next to a gas station. From the hotel, if you turn right, you can walk to the Michelin-starred Ritsurin Garden. Turning left will take you to Takamatsu Port, where you can catch various island-hopping ferries. There are also many great restaurants directly across from the hotel. Overall, aside from the room being too small, everything else was fine.

We stayed in a type A room, overall stay satisfied 👍 Free service provided by the hotel → Shuttle bus, drinks, massage chairs, rooftop stargazing, The attitude of the waiters and drivers is very commendable 👍 The room's duvet and environment are very comfortable 👍 Rich breakfast and dinner 👍 Only at the end of the dinner, the white rice served, although delicious, but no dishes to match, make the overall pale. It would be perfect if it could be served with some wild vegetables at the same time. You can also add two more pieces of fruit. We enjoyed a comfortable and unforgettable evening, Thank you to all the staff of the hotel 😊👍

This is a fantastic onsen hotel in the Kotohira area. It's quite large, with rooms featuring private baths, as well as separate large public baths for men and women. They also have four private reserved onsen baths, and I managed to try all of them whenever I had a chance. In the mornings, they offer free Yakult, and in the afternoons, free popsicles. The food was relatively standard, but the room was very clean and spacious. It's also conveniently located for walking to Konpira-san Shrine.

5 minutes walk from Marugui Station, the hotel is very mini as a whole: the front desk is small, the restaurant is small, the soup pool is small, the room is small. But there are some, in an orderly manner. The service is warm and active, free udon noodles are provided at 9 pm, and the restaurant provides free coffee and drinks all day. There are not many people this season, although small, breakfast and soup are not crowded. There are not many things for breakfast, but it tastes good. I returned to the room on the first night and saw the wonderful view outside the window. It was great value!

The staff of Olivean Shodoshima Yuhigaoka Hotel are professional and considerable. Their service are excellent, especially 1) The shuttle bus driver (morning shift strong man, forgot asking his name). When we arrived at Shodoshima Ferry Pier at 11:00am on April 7, we found a hotel shuttle bus, but not sure if it's the one of our staying hotel. We asked the driver if it's the one that waiting to pick us up. He said yes, but the hotel check-in time should be 3:00pm in the afternoon. He suggested us to have the sightseeing first and helped register the afternoon time for picking us instead. Also, he suggested taking our hand carry bags to the hotel front desk to avoid we carrying too heavy bags while travelling. 2) The lady staff (sorry for forgetting her name) at the lobby hall, who was very proactive. She came over immediately to help taking photos for us when she found we're taking a selfie. She also served us with free drinks for enjoying the sunset at the hall. 3) The staff at the reception desk are very professional. They helped us for check-in, explained the details of the time for meals, and provided all the information required. 4) The foods for dinner & breakfast buffet are very nice and yummy. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Overall, Olivean Shodoshima Yuhigaoka Hotel is a very professional and comfortable accommodation for stay. We're pleased and feel glad choosing this hotel.

Great service in a large Japanese Tradional Onsen hotel. Minutes from the famous Kompira Shrine , room is spacious with great facilities, the outdoor Onsen is good but provide no views. Hotel has free car parking in an area some distance away, though shuttle are free.

部屋がとても綺麗でした！私たちは入っていませんが、隣にある温泉に無料で入れるチケットが貰えます。また、自由に遊べるボードゲームが沢山あり、とても楽しかったです！スーツケースを2個広げられる広さが十分ありました。お風呂はバスタブはなくてシャワーだけでした。中庭がありそこでキャンプファイヤーもやってるみたいです。またぜひ泊まりたいと思えるホテルでした！

Hotel staff at reception desk is super helpful and very patient to assist customer. Room is super clean and breakfast is nice. We stayed this hotel for 4 nights for a golf trip. During our stay, there were a couple issues we have with car rental companies. Staff was very kind to help in local languange conversation with call center and local police individuals to effectively get thing done. I cannot image how long it will take for us to communicate with non-Japanese lauguage... Good job Route Inn hotel.

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.
