Tosa Gyoen: Traditional Inn with Heartfelt Gourmet Cuisine

I was able to board the train on time while it was stopped en route to Tokyo Station, and I arrived at Kochi Station on schedule. Thank you for picking me up at Kochi Station. I was able to relax in the large public bath. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. Thank you as well for taking me to Kochi Station in the rain in the morning.

I stayed here for a two-person trip with a friend. Thanks to the warm hospitality of the staff, I truly felt the welcoming spirit that Kochi is known for. The intonation of the Tosa dialect was especially delightful for someone visiting from outside the prefecture, and I hope you will continue to cherish your local speech without trying to “correct” it. While the building and air-conditioning facilities show their age, everything is well maintained, and both our Room and the interior were kept clean, making it very comfortable to rest. When I noticed that the elevator mat had the day of the week written on it, it was a small surprise—it made me realize it must be changed daily. I also appreciated being able to enjoy local specialties at breakfast buffet, and the freshly made rice balls prepared on request were delicious. The selection that lets guests experience regional specialties through taste was wonderful. Coming back drenched in sweat, the large public bath felt especially refreshing. Soaking in such a spacious bath helped melt away my fatigue, and I slept soundly that night. The souvenir corner was well stocked too, and it was fun choosing items. It may be routine for your front desk staff, but I really appreciated them reminding me when I almost forgot to get my Ryoma Passport stamp. It was also reassuring to see how well information had been handed over from the previous day’s shift. Thank you for taking care of us for two nights and three days. This is an Accommodation I would like to choose again when visiting Kochi next time.
