Founded in 1627. A long-established Ryokan beloved by renowned writers and artists.

A 400-year-old traditional Ryokan nestled at the foot of a sacred and mystical forest. Three elegant Sukiya-style detached buildings harmoniously blend with modern architecture, all set within a beautiful Japanese garden that reflects the changing seasons. Strolling through the strolling-style garden, you can imagine the literary figures such as Mori Ōgai and Kitahara Hakushū who once stayed here. From the panoramic bath, enjoy distant views of Mount Sanuki Fuji or take in the charming streetscape of Kotohira's temple town. Refresh your spirit and rediscover the delicate sense of Japanese beauty and harmony that may have been forgotten amidst urban life’s hustle and bustle.

  • The Room is wonderful.

    My family of three stayed in Sansuikaku’s Japanese-Western Room E.Since the Accommodation is located at the foot of a mountain, there are significant elevation changes throughout the property, including the parking area. They provided a Shuttle Service between the parking area and the Accommodation.The Room was new, and both the view and the open-air bath were wonderful. I also liked that the door closes slowly on its own. I felt so happy relaxing with a cup of coffee. The private open-air bath was clean and very nice as well.Dinner at the dining venue was delicious. The beef and matcha shiruko were especially good—I ate too much. Breakfast felt light, perhaps because it was summer; I wouldn’t have minded something a bit more classic.All staff members were pleasant, but after checkout I felt slightly rushed during the Shuttle Service to the parking area (perhaps they wanted to combine rides with other guests). We did want to leave promptly as well, so I would have appreciated being asked, “We can take you right now—what would you prefer?”As an aside, after returning home I learned that my favorite celebrity had stayed here too, which made it feel even more special. Thank you very much for taking care of us!

  • As expected of the Awaji Group.

    The car parking area surprised me a bit, but once I was guided into the Hotel, the maze-like path from the entrance to the lobby made sense—it felt calm and well designed. The Room came with an open-air bath, so I was able to enjoy a wonderfully open and elegant time. Both dinner and breakfast were completely satisfying and reminded me how great Japanese cuisine is. The Awaji beef roast beef was outstanding, and I’m already craving the fish-ball hot pot, braised pork, firefly squid, and more. Breakfast was excellent as well. It’s definitely worth staying at least once.

The detached houses scattered throughout the garden of Kotohira Kadan, a Property established in the 4th year of Kan'ei, serve as symbolic representations of the inn. Various highlights are featured, including hanging scrolls of Kanzan and Jittoku, paintings by Komuro Suiun, and Edo-period fusuma paintings.

  • Sanuki Mannou National Government Park “Autumn! Colorful Festa” Now On!

    With the arrival of autumn, Sanuki Mannou National Government Park is wrapped in vivid seasonal colors.
    From September 12, the “Autumn! Colorful Festival” will fill the park with around 170,000 cosmos flowers across six varieties, while about 6,000 kochia plants gradually change color as autumn deepens.
    From sweeping fields of pink and yellow cosmos to kochia turning from green to red, one of the season’s special charms is enjoying different autumn scenery depending on when you visit.

    During the festival, there will also be a “Digital Stamp Rally” you can enjoy while exploring the park and a “Hanaemi Photo Contest,” which you can enter by posting your photos on Instagram. Why not take on the challenge while capturing your autumn memories?
    There will also be plenty of hands-on events for families. In addition to date-limited workshops, events are planned where children can play to their heart’s content on inflatable attractions such as water balloons and big slides. There will be many other kid-friendly activities too, including an insect class and a “Vehicle Festival” featuring police cars, crane trucks, and more.

    As autumn progresses and the kochia turns bright red, the park becomes even more breathtaking. Why not spend some time enjoying colorful flowers and the changing seasons in a pleasant autumn breeze?

    This autumn, why not pair your trip to Kagawa with a visit to Sanuki Mannou National Government Park to enjoy its vibrant fall scenery?
