- How about Kotosankaku? It's in a great, convenient location, just a 5-minute walk from both Kotohira Station and the main Omotesando street. Guests staying in the main building have exclusive access to an observation bath with magnificent, panoramic views of the Shikoku landscape. For dinner, you can enjoy a Japanese kaiseki course featuring the bounty of both the Seto Inland Sea and the Sanuki countryside. The "Olive-Jidori Kamameshi" (Olive Chicken Hot Pot Rice) was particularly outstanding.アラート's answer (Posted on:2021/5/23)

The open-air observation bath exclusively for guests in the main building offers Breathtaking view
-
This is a wonderful inn located in the temple town of Konpira Shrine in Konpira Onsen. The open-air observation bath and large bath, exclusively for guests of the main building's Hitenkan, offer a luxurious time while looking at the magnificent view of Konpira Shrine below. Dinner was a Japanese banquet. There was a wide variety of dishes, which were delicious and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was either Buffet or a Japanese set meal, which seems to change depending on the day.うまき's answer (Posted on:2021/3/21)

A hotel representing Kotohira
- This is a hotel that satisfies you in every way. The rooms are spacious, and the hot spring is spacious and relaxing. The dishes are full of Setouchi delicacies and are very filling, so there's nothing to complain about. It's also very conveniently located near Kotohira-san and the theater.ヴィーノ5000's answer (Posted on:2020/12/31)

A hotel close to the approach to the shrine and with a fun interior
- I stayed here once when I visited Konpira-san. It's very convenient as it's close to the approach to the temple. The main building and the annex are connected by a slope, so you can use the escalator to move between them. There are paintings and furnishings on display on the walls of the corridor between them, which you can enjoy. There are various facilities inside the building, such as karaoke rooms, so you can relax and enjoy yourself inside. There are also room plans with open-air baths. There is a large public bath and an open-air bath, and the women's bath has rose flowers floating in it, which is lovely. There is a walking stick at the entrance that you can use when visiting Konpira-san, and you can use it freely. This is a wonderful hotel that represents Kotohira.hahata's answer (Posted on:2020/11/10)

The largest lodging facility in Konpira Onsen
- The access to Konpira Shrine is also good. The room was very spacious. The open-air bath was large and the surrounding view and atmosphere were great, so I was able to bathe in it many times and was very satisfied. The food was also very delicious and the breakfast Buffet had a wide variety of dishes, so I was very satisfied.ササラ's answer (Posted on:2020/6/ 9)

A Historic Inn Once Graced by the Renowned Author, Mori Ōgai
- This inn boasts a long and storied history, founded in the Edo period and having hosted esteemed guests like famous authors and the Imperial Family. While the building had once shown its age, a complete renovation about a decade ago beautifully revitalized the property. Today, guests can enjoy the perfect blend of its historic soul with contemporary comfort, all while savoring the delightful onsen and the regional cuisine of Kagawa.キタキツネ's answer (Posted on:2021/11/ 4)

A quiet inn surrounded by nature
- The inn is surrounded by nature, so you can relax while admiring the natural beauty. The large communal bath had an indoor bath with a great view, and an open-air bath where you can relax surrounded by greenery. This was also nice, but there was also a private open-air bath, so you could enjoy the hot springs in a more private and luxurious atmosphere. At night, the greenery is lit up, creating a fantastical world. For food, we had a kaiseki meal in the dining room, where you could enjoy the Sanuki beef and seafood that are unique to this place, but there is also an in-room dining option, so you can choose whichever you prefer. There was a terrace on the third floor, and a library and massage machines were also provided. It's the perfect place to relax, so I recommend it.くまたんさん's answer (Posted on:2020/10/ 9)

There is an open-air bath surrounded by bamboo forest.
- Kotohira Kadan is a long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) founded in 1626, located on the banks of the Kanagura River. It is about a 15-minute walk from Kotohira Station, but there is a free shuttle bus so you don't have to worry about getting there. The inn has an observation bath (with sauna) overlooking the Sanuki Plain and the Asan Mountains, and an open-air bath surrounded by bamboo forests. There is also a private open-air bath, so you can bathe in private. After the bath, you can receive a traditional Thai massage at the beauty salon. Dinner is kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）that allows you to taste an abundance of local seafood and mountain delicacies, including delicious Sanuki beef, olive pork, Sanuki Cochin, and seafood from the Seto Inland Sea.RRgypsies's answer (Posted on:2020/6/26)

A retro inn that was previously registered as a national tangible cultural property!
- This nostalgic, three-story wooden inn blends its Meiji-era origins with a beautiful modern renovation by the renowned Kyoritsu Resort. The result is a captivating fusion of Japanese tradition and contemporary style. While preserving its historic soul, the inn offers a wealth of modern comforts. Relax in the extensive public baths (each with indoor, rock, and cypress barrel tubs) or book one of the four unique private baths. Enjoy amenities like a foot bath and colorful yukata rentals before savoring a fresh, seasonal kaiseki dinner. The luxurious Japanese-style breakfast is also sure to satisfy.Shinryuken's answer (Posted on:2023/6/13)

An Inn to Savor the Beauty of All Four Seasons at Kotohira
- The best part of my stay at Yumoto Yachiyo was the magnificent rooftop open-air bath. From there, I could fully savor the ever-changing beauty of Mt. Kotohira through the seasons. The ryokan is also conveniently located just a 7-minute walk from JR Kotohira Station. For a more private experience, there's a tranquil, reservable bath where you can enjoy the therapeutic hot spring waters all to yourself. To top it all off, the kaiseki dinner, featuring a bounty of local Kagawa ingredients and specialties from across Shikoku, was delicious.ほっこり法師's answer (Posted on:2023/11/24)

Featuring Six Private Baths, Each with a Unique Design and Atmosphere
-
For your stay in Kotohira Onsen, I recommend "Kotone." This inn is quietly located on the shrine's back approach. Its main draw is the six private, reservable baths, which you can use as many times as you like during your stay, free of charge. While there are no open-air baths, you can enjoy a unique 'bath tour' through various amazing styles—from a rare tatami-floor bath and a luxurious granite tub, to an aromatic wooden bath and one with a nostalgic 'Taishō Roman' design. The creative kaiseki dinner, featuring local seafood and vegetables, is also generous and very satisfying.Behind The Line's answer (Posted on:2020/8/ 1)
