Shioya Station (Kagawa Prefecture) × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

I stay here every month, and I’m very satisfied—the Facility is well equipped, and the meals are excellent, including freshly fried tempura. The staff’s smiles and service are wonderful, making this Hotel the perfect way to start the day. The other day, I borrowed an umbrella due to a typhoon, but I’m sorry I broke it in the strong winds and heavy rain.

I was quite tired from my pilgrimage journey, but a relaxing bath and a delicious breakfast left me feeling fully refreshed, and I was able to spend the final day of my pilgrimage with a smile. For a pilgrimage trip, there’s nothing better than soothing your fatigue in the large public bath. I stayed at Route Inn for all three nights this time.

Reserved a Standard Twin Room in the new wing. As others have mentioned, we were upgraded to a better Room. The toilet and bath were separate, so we could relax and enjoy a long soak.> We had dinner on this Plan, but it was not “mini” at all. It was a full course: five appetizers, corn potage, pan-seared grunt with beurre blanc sauce and roasted shrimp, braised beef cheek, dessert, and coffee—everything was absolutely delicious. It would be a shame to stay here and not have dinner! To get to the Hotel we used Setouchi Taxi, and they also gave us a great presentation of recommended sightseeing routes. It was a wonderful trip. I’d definitely like to stay again when I visit Takamatsu.

Very clean and quiet—perfect for a relaxing stay. I would love to stay here again.

We stayed at the Onsen with dinner and breakfast included, and it was a great value. There’s a supermarket right in front that stays open late, so you can easily go buy anything you need. Dinner was at Ichinomatsu, and the sashimi and hot pot were filling and delicious. I was happy to have horse mackerel for breakfast, but it was a bit disappointing because it was cold when I expected it to be warm. The Onsen also has a sauna and felt great, but since it’s only open until 11:00 p.m., the timing was pretty tight. It was a Japanese-style room, but it also had its own toilet and washbasin area, so it felt spacious and we could relax comfortably.

Day two of my Kagawa trip with my new wife. We headed to “Auberge de Oishi,” an Accommodation I had long hoped to bring her to ever since my previous stay. The oyster dishes I enjoyed a few years ago weren’t available this time due to recent climate-related difficulties in sourcing ingredients, but even so, the cuisine here continues to exceed expectations every visit. It’s not simply a lineup of expensive ingredients—this auberge’s true appeal is the chance to encounter an entirely new dining experience. The space and interior design reflect the owner’s meticulous attention to detail. It has a distinctive atmosphere and palette you won’t find in commercialized large-scale luxury Hotels or typical tourist spots. The staff, including the madam, are friendly yet refined, making your stay all the more fulfilling. Next time, I’d like to return and invite my wife’s parents as well, staying in one of the newly built rooms on the hilltop. If you’re visiting Kagawa, this is a place worth experiencing at least once.

Conveniently located near airport limousine bus stops and shopping streets. The Room was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate large luggage. Breakfast was surprisingly rich and delicious for being complimentary.

The rooms and facilities are small but provide a satisfying accommodation experience. The dedication of the staff is evident. This is my go-to accommodation in Takamatsu. There is a system to check the congestion in the building via TV, but there is a significant delay in reflecting the crowd status of the baths. The onsen is pleasant, but be prepared for some crowding.

I was satisfied with everything—the beds, shower booth, bath, amenities, and the breakfast buffet full of Shikoku specialties. The staff were always smiling and provided excellent service, making my stay very comfortable. The location was also convenient, so getting around was very smooth. This is a Hotel I would definitely like to stay at again when I visit Takamatsu.

I stayed here on a business trip. I arrived a bit early, but the Room had already been cleaned, so I was able to check in slightly ahead of time, which made everything afterward go smoothly. The Room was spacious and clean. Thank you very much.

I stayed here during Golden Week. Located in the heart of the downtown area, this Accommodation is surrounded by all kinds of places to eat—delicious and friendly izakayas, and an incredibly good Sanuki udon shop with lines starting from 7:00 a.m.—everything you could want is right there. The sauna also offers fun special “aufguss” events, making it perfect as the destination for a solo male trip or a motorcycle touring finale—you’re sure to enjoy an amazing holiday. Motorcycles can be parked on the first floor.

We arrived by car. Before check-in, we went to confirm the parking, and the front desk staff kindly advised us that if we planned to take the car out after checking in, the affiliated parking lot would be best, but if not, a nearby coin-operated parking lot might be cheaper. Thanks to that advice, we were able to keep our parking fee low. Thank you very much. The drink service and complimentary breakfast also had a great selection and were delicious. The special dessert financier was especially tasty. We were also happy they had apples. The large public bath operates on a rotating schedule, and when it was the men’s time slot, there seemed to be too few washing stations. It looked like someone entered without washing first, which he found unpleasant. (This is not a complaint about the Hotel—more of an individual issue—but it would be nice if guests could be mindful.) Since there were three of us and we had a lot of luggage, it would have been even better if there had been a simple luggage rack or stand. All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Thank you for taking care of us.

This stay was outstanding again. In Takamatsu, I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. The hospitality, cleanliness, and security were all excellent. As always, I had a very comfortable stay and was completely satisfied.

I stayed at this Hotel again for a live concert in Takamatsu. The location is excellent, with the downtown area nearby, and since the Hotel is on the 9th floor and above, the Room was quiet even though it’s in a lively area. The service was also wonderful. I shipped my luggage in advance, and the staff were polite on the phone and considered my Room request. On the day of arrival, the front desk staff were very kind. When I left for the concert, they saw me off with smiles and said, “Enjoy.” I would like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

I stayed here for a live concert trip. The Room was spacious and clean, and I was able to relax comfortably. I really appreciated having an air purifier in the Room. The pajamas were comfortable as well. The staff were kind, and I was happy that the breakfast was delicious, so if I visit Kagawa again, I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

I came from Kobe on the Jumbo Ferry, and it was very convenient to get around—from the ferry terminal to Takamatsu Station and the covered shopping arcade. Thanks to that, I enjoyed plenty of udon and bone-in chicken. Having Sanuki udon for breakfast was a real highlight.

As others have mentioned, the Facility is old. You can feel its age in the plumbing areas, shared spaces, and elevator, but the Room has been nicely renovated and was more spacious than expected—we could easily open two suitcases on the floor. The staff were also very helpful; we left our luggage at 8:00 a.m. before check-in, and they kindly accommodated us. It’s close to the station and convenient for dining, getting around, and sightseeing, so it’s a recommended Hotel.

The Facility is somewhat old, but it was well cleaned, and the Wi-Fi signal was strong enough. It’s conveniently located near Kotoden Kataharamachi Station, you can use the Onsen at the sister property, and there’s a supermarket nearby. Perhaps because it was a quiet period, they prepared a Japanese-style room that was more spacious than I needed for a solo trip, so I could relax very comfortably. The price was reasonable, and I’d like to stay again.

I stay here several times a month. During my last visit, the property was being renovated and there was some construction noise. When I mentioned it, the staff promptly stopped the work, and I really appreciated their considerate response. At checkout, the manager even took the time to greet me personally, which was very kind. I’m always satisfied with the pleasant service. I also occasionally use the restaurant, and I feel both the Japanese and Western dishes offer excellent value for money. I would like to continue staying here in the future.

Everything is so well provided that you’ll hardly have any trouble. We even borrowed bicycles.
