Kotohira Kadan

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!

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.
