Shikoku Takamatsu Onsen New Grande Mimatsu

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.

Because a nearby typhoon might have suspended JR Marine Liner services, I made a Reservation here to stay one more night in Takamatsu. Although I was traveling solo, the arcade shopping streets in the city center and the Kotoden station were close by, I could enjoy the Onsen, and dinner even included the local specialty bone-in chicken—so I was very satisfied.
