Shikoku Takamatsu Onsen New Grande Mimatsu

We stayed four consecutive nights in total—two nights at Mimatsu and two nights at Sakika, Mimatsu’s sister property. Everything was excellent. The standout feature is the large public bath with natural Onsen. It was a little disappointing that bathing hours are limited to 6:00–9:00 and 16:00–24:00, but that is understandable if it is cleaned daily. The dinner and breakfast were also more than satisfactory for the price. Overall, it feels like a well-established and very good Ryokan or Hotel.

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.
