Hotele z: bar w Kagawa Prefecture, Japan

This hotel boasts an excellent location, making travel incredibly convenient. The JR station, bus stops, and highway bus terminal are all nearby. What's even better is that the ferry terminal is just a few minutes' walk away. In the evenings, you can enjoy a refreshing sea breeze and admire the night views at Takamatsu Port. The breakfast is abundant and delicious, and the dining staff are particularly warm and attentive! If I ever visit Takamatsu again, I would definitely choose this hotel!

The room is spacious and comfortable, with wet and dry separation. It is rare that the hot spring hotel room is also equipped with a separate shower room. The hotel is relatively elegant overall, the hot springs are comfortable, and the banquet cuisine and buffet breakfast are also good.

It is at a very convenient location near Takamatsu Port, JR station and Kotoden station, so it is a good starting point for attractions around Kagawa prefecture. There are restaurants nearby but supermarkets are somehow a bit far away. Independent socket, lighting and curtains are available to provide privacy for dorm bed users. Temperature in the dorm room was ok but the toilet was a bit cold in early morning.

I booked an accessible room, and it was genuinely spacious. It's really comfortable to stay in a 35 sqm room in Japan. There was a slight odor when I first entered the room, but it cleared up after I turned on the air purifier. Downside: The soundproofing isn't great. Upside: Everything else is a plus. The location is excellent. There's an airport shuttle right downstairs, which costs 1000 yen and goes directly to the airport. There are frequent services, almost hourly. Location: Whether you're going to the airport, Takamatsu Port for island hopping, or the JR station, everything is within walking distance. It's a 12-minute walk to Takamatsu Port, which was perfect for our island-hopping itinerary. Mitsukoshi department store is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, and it has an LV store with plenty of stock. There are also many choices for drugstores, restaurants, and cafes. The room was cleaned daily. One time, I forgot to hang the 'please clean' sign and thought it wouldn't be done, but when I returned to the room, it felt completely refreshed, which was a lovely surprise. I forgot to take photos of the room, so I've included a picture of the beautiful blue sea and sky instead.

Stayed here for one night on our second visit to Naoshima in almost 10 years. The lodge is quite close to the main port, but it’s up on a hill — so if you’re travelling with heavy luggage, the walk up can be a bit of a workout. That said, there’s a luggage delivery service about a 5-minute walk from the port. We paid around ¥2,800 for two large suitcases (pickup and return), which made things much easier. Bike rental was about ¥1,500 per day. The lodge itself is clean and fairly spacious. Being on top of the hill gives you a really nice view over the island and out to the ocean. AC worked well, everything was straightforward, and nothing really went wrong. Simple, comfortable stay. Would consider staying again.

I love the location near the jetties, makes it so convenient to book tickets for my island hopping plans. There’s plenty of good eateries and 7-11 downstairs. Big bonus is the onsen bath and laundry facility on the 9th floor. Hotel even gives you a bottle of water incentive and they still give you fresh towels, which they hang on your room door when you don’t wish to have room make-up service. Another plus point is the airport limousine pick is within sister property - JR Clement Hotel Highly recommend this hotel!

Shuttle Service: When booking accommodations, there were only two ways to arrange a shuttle, and for some reason, my email only linked to a very old address I rarely use. My messages went unanswered. I also tried calling from other cities in Japan, but an automated Japanese voice service picked up. Thankfully, at JR Kotohira Station, there was an Information counter. A young, helpful service attendant who spoke simple English immediately called the hotel for me when she heard where I was staying. The car arrived in about 5 minutes. The shuttle driver, a slightly chubby young man with glasses, spoke excellent English. He was quite chatty and humorous, making the ride enjoyable. He also recommended a famous local udon restaurant and advised that climbing to the top of Konpira-san Shrine would take at least 2.5 hours (definitely allow more time if you want to look around carefully and take photos). Luggage Storage: We arrived at the hotel at 11 AM, dropped off our luggage, and headed straight for a meal before ascending Konpira-san. Upon returning to the hotel, our luggage had already been delivered directly to our room. Room: We booked a bit late, but for this price, in other major Japanese cities, you'd only get a quarter of the space. My friend commented that she could finally spread out her suitcase and organize her belongings. There was also a dressing room/vanity, though the lighting was a bit dim. In the evenings, we enjoyed tea on the balcony, which was a very pleasant spot to relax and enjoy the view. Our room offered a direct view of the hotel garden and pond, a wonderful experience. Restaurant: When booking, I chose the hotel's ”Sanuki Santoku” (Three Treasures of Sanuki) dining plan. The waiter escorted us to a table with a great view and explained each dish. The food was delicious, and I was absolutely stuffed (I have a small appetite). Most of the service staff appeared to be of Indian descent. Other Features: 1) I really loved the public lounge. In the evenings, the spacious design and soft lighting created a wonderful ambiance. It was very atmospheric to sit and slowly savor coffee/champagne (complimentary). 2) Our accommodation included one complimentary 45-minute private onsen session on the same floor as the lounge. It had a sofa and drinks, but only one shower stall, so if there were multiple people, we'd have to take turns. For me, the time was too short, and the water temperature wasn't as high as in the public bath. 3) The public bath had two pools. A smaller one outdoors, where the water was quite hot, and a sauna room, which was also very hot! I personally preferred the public bath.

The location is excellent, very close to the train station. However, there's frequent train noise, though I imagine locals are quite accustomed to it. I booked a female-only dorm bed, but to access the women's restroom, you had to walk past the men's. What's more, there were two men's restrooms but only one for women – rather odd! On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and helpful. For a two-night stay, they offered a complimentary drink and even free ice cream.

香川温泉酒店大比較。平均每晚1500元左右。 香川大江户，這一家，還有海のやどり（在香川東北角） 設施：室內一般，衹能説正常。兩個單人床一個沙發床，適合親子。和大江户差不多，但基本都在室外：室外游泳池，乒乓球枱等，唱k付費 衞生：相對乾淨整潔 環境：窗外江景，本身在山裡，周圍沒啥。 服務：因為人相對比較少，有種被重視的感覺。沒有在大江户和旅遊團一起拼殺的感覺。 晚餐：很講究，很浪漫，是前菜，主餐，甜點的順序逐一上菜的。 早餐：也是相對豐富，可選擇的很多。 温泉：地方有點小，但人也少，所以也還好。就是室內一小塊，露天一小塊。肯定沒有大江户那麼大氣了。 整體感受：温泉酒店的對比，無非就是餐食，室內，温泉的比較。 這家的晚餐還是很贊，其他都是一般 三家整體評價 大江户：餐食4（最近太鹹），室內4，温泉5 這家： 餐食5，室內4，温泉3.5 海のやどり：餐食4，室內3.5（海景加分），温泉3 性價比和人氣的話，無奈還是大江户出色，畢竟娛樂設施齊全，附近還有主題公園。

This hotel is definitely one of the best, if not the best, on Shodoshima. They also have a pool with a sea view, but I didn't bring a swimsuit so I didn't go. The room was incredibly spacious with an unbeatable ocean view, and it even came with a washing machine, microwave, and electric stove. Even if the small shops around closed at night, you could still go to a nearby convenience store, buy a bento, and heat it up back in your room. Breakfast was a buffet style with plenty of choices. Note: They offer online check-in (you'll get a link via Trip.com or email), so you can fill out your personal information in advance. Once you arrive at the hotel, you can use the QR code for a quick check-in.
