Tosa Washi Craft Village Cloud

Rooms & Facilities: We didn’t use the bathtub, but there were no issues. As noted in advance, there is no elevator, so it’s a long walk to the corner Room on the 4th floor, and the hallway is hot. Service: The male staff member provided accurate information and guidance. Onsen: It’s a bit far, but there were few guests so we could relax at our own pace. Meals: We were able to eat in a quiet, calm setting. Thank you for the complimentary items as well. The additional charges (alcohol) for two people came to 6,100 yen.

Highly recommended if you want to enjoy the Niyodo River.About 30 minutes by car from Kochi Station.About 45 minutes to Crystal Pool (or around an hour if it’s a bit crowded). Niko Pool is slightly closer.You can also go kayaking on the Niyodo River right in front of the Hotel, which is convenient for families with children.The food was delicious—classic French cuisine (not the trendy fusion style or light fare, so tastes may vary). The appetizers, soup, and desserts were especially good. Both the fish and meat mains were generous portions and satisfying even for men.One downside: the covered walkway from reception to the Room was hot and steamy… it’s only a few minutes, but in summer it was tough for me.The staff were pleasant and attentive.The Room is 25 m², but because the bathroom area and entryway are compactly arranged, it felt spacious overall.(The entryway is small, but the bathroom facilities were new, clean, and easy to use.)Perhaps because it was peak season, when we made our Reservation it was JPY 50,000 for one night on a weekday. Considering the Facility (no elevator, etc.), it felt a bit pricey—but if you want to enjoy the Niyodo River without moving around much, I recommend it.(It’s about a 12-minute drive to Ino Station where there’s a convenience store.)Next time I’d like to stay from late autumn into winter, when people say the river color is at its most beautiful.
