Thank you for taking care of us during our summer trip to Shikoku. Before dinner, we were able to watch a live demonstration of straw-seared bonito, and it was truly delicious. The bath was also spacious and very relaxing. We didn’t know until we arrived, but this is a historic and prestigious Accommodation, and every staff member who assisted us was courteous and attentive. We booked the guided walking stay Plan, and the next day we visited ponds associated with Ryoma Sakamoto while walking. The explanations were thorough, making it a truly memorable experience.

We had a very comfortable stay, including the Room, meals (featuring ingredients from Kochi), and the large public bath. The sweet yuzu tea in the post-bath lounge was especially delicious. (It would be even better if it were refilled a bit more often.)Also, when we asked where we could use handheld fireworks, the front desk staff immediately told us that it would be possible near Lawson in Josei Park, about a 5–10 minute walk from the Accommodation (on the concrete-paved area). This was extremely helpful, and our child was able to enjoy fireworks. (We asked at other hotels as well, but couldn’t find out where it was allowed.)Just one point: our child’s dinner was prepared as Western-style, although it seems Japanese-style could also be chosen. If it is selectable, we would appreciate being asked in advance (ideally at the time of Reservation). Since our child prefers Japanese food, we shared from our meal instead. (At check-in, we were told it had already been prepared and changing it would require remaking it with an additional charge.)Overall, we had a very comfortable stay and would definitely like to use this Accommodation again on our next visit to Kochi. (A small detail: the in-room refrigerator had a freezer function, which really helped us refreeze ice packs.)
