  • Kotosankaku Hotel
  • Best Ryokans & Hotels in Kotohira Onsen, Kagawa

I'm planning a trip to Shikoku and want to stay in Kotohira Onsen (Kagawa). Can anyone recommend a nice ryokan? I'd really love one with an open-air bath (rotenburo).

Kotosankaku Hotel

685-11 Kotohira-cho, Nakatado-Gun

  • Excellent Location! 5-Min Walk to Kotohira Station & the Main Street

  • 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.

Yumoto Kompira Onsen Hananoyu Koubaitei

556-1 Kotohira-Cho, Nakatado-Gun

  • Enjoy an 'Onsen-Hopping' Tour, All Within the Hotel

  • The hotel offers a wide variety of baths to explore. You'll find a grand public bath filled with the soothing aroma of Hinoki cypress, a unique open-air bath for women with floating rose petals, and even multiple private, reservable open-air baths. For the ultimate experience, some room plans include a private open-air bath with views of the Kotohira townscape. After your bath tour, savor a colorful dinner featuring an abundance of local Sanuki ingredients, including the famous Sanuki beef.

Kotohira Kadan

1241-5 Kotohira-cho, Nakatado-gun

  • 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.

Sakuranoshou Kotohira Grand Hotel

977-1 Kotohira-Cho, Nakatado-Gun

  • A Charming Hotel, Steps from the Entrance to the Main Shrine Approach

  • This atmospheric hotel is conveniently located near the entrance of the main shrine approach. The onsen features a gentle, skin-friendly weak radon spring, and facilities include a grand public bath, a sauna, and an open-air bath. We highly recommend the open-air bath, which offers a wonderful view of the famed Kotohira-gu Shrine. For dinner, you can savor a kaiseki course prepared with local Sanuki ingredients, including Sanuki beef and seasonal mountain vegetables.

Onyado Shikishimakan - Kotohira Hotspring

713-1 Kawanishi, Kotohiracho

  • 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.

Konpira-Onsen Yachiyo

611,Kotohira-cho,Nakatado-gun

  • 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.

Konpira Onsen Kashikiri Yunoyado Kotone

685-21 Kotoshiracho, Nakatadogun

  • 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.
