During our road trip throughout Western Japan, we needed to spend the night after touring Kochi but before heading to Tomonoura (near Fukuyama in Northern Hiroshima Prefecture.) Looking on the map, and after extensive research, we were hopeful that Asan Kotonami would hit all the right buttons as a luxury Onsen (natural hot springs) ryokan with a mountain retreat vibe and good food. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It's about a 30 minute drive from Kotohira-gu (aka Konpira-san), which is the nearest major tourist attraction. Since we had our own car, there was not much effort in getting here, but accessibility to Asan Kotonami might be a bit more challenging if one resorted strictly to public transportation. In any case, if you're looking for something that's not a large, city hotel and is relatively luxurious, there are few (if any) other options - in fact, I'd say that Asan Kotonami might turn out to be the de-facto choice in this regard. First off, it's a gorgeous ryokan - it's in a picturesque location nestled in a mountainous area of rural Kagawa Prefecture. It's modern but done with a simplistic yet stylish Japanese aesthetic that will please many people. Unlike many luxury ryokans, however, Asan Kotonami is relatively new - it was built in 2017, meaning it is not worn down in any way. We loved the modern Japanese architecture, furnishings and decor, and the fact that it was in a remote location surrounded by nature. Thumbs up. We stayed in the ”Type F” room, which is described as a Japanese-Western room with Open-Air Bath. It's Western in that the bedroom has two beds and a couch. The ”living” area is Japanese in that you either sit on the floor, or on an oddly shaped and very low ”chair.” I guess you can call the living room being more Japanese than Western, but it's definitely Japanese in that it's a tiny room. Overall, it's uncomfortable and unusable, which was a shame, because I often need to work late at night, meaning we prefer a nice living room (for work) and a separate bedroom with sufficient noise insulation. Asan Kotonami didn't have that here, unfortunately. The room only had one sink, which is a drawback for a luxury property that was newly built less than 5 years ago. On the positive side, the open-air outdoor Onsen (natural hot springs) bath on our room terrace was fantastic, and internet was very speedy. In addition to the Onsen our room, Asan Kotonami also had among the nicest communal (gender-segregated) ”Daiyokujo” Onsen baths that we've ever experienced. It's almost Disneyland-like in that it's stylish, expansive and has several indoor and outdoor bathing options. It's possible that the property gets an abundance of the hot spring water directly from the source, because they certainly don't make any effort to preserve it. As soon as I stepped out of the changing room and even before going to the bathing area, Onsen was flowing all around me on the floor, with stylish woo

They couldn’t find our reservation when we arrived but we were given the same price that we had reserved it at. It was a good place to stay for one night and across from a supermarket. There’s a convenience store located next door but not a lot of choices nearby for meals. We had to walk almost a kilometer to a restaurant that we wanted to try. The breakfast buffet was simple but sufficient and it was not crowded. There’s a coffee machine that you can use anytime. There is a family floor that has a microwave and a kitchen that can be used. They offer some instant noodles after 930 pm.

Everything is very good, the equipment is perfect, the space is large, and the parking is very convenient, but one of the tatami bedding has a big long-term smell in the cabinet, and it is solved by changing one by itself.

We just returned from a quick but memorable trip to Shikoku. We stayed at Kotohira Kadan for our first night since it's conveniently situated to enjoy some of the finest Sanuki Udon noodle restaurants in the area (we chose not to explore Kotohira-gu (aka ”Konpira-san”) - that will be reserved for a next visit.) While we enjoy modern rooms as much as the next person, we also appreciate traditional architecture, furnishings and decor... and Chouseiden (長生殿), Kotohira Kadan's top room, oozed history and tradition in a way that left us with a lasting impression. Chouseiden is one of a handful of stand-alone villas at the ryokan, and was inhabited by the local Lord many years ago. It's also liberally adorned with the art collection of the original owner Kotohira Kadan, including ancient folding screens, sliding doors and hanging scrolls that were produced by famous artists. It's so history-laden that it is bound to creep some people out... I don't think Mrs. KI-NRT would ever choose to live in such a room, but as an ”experience” it was well worth the privilege of trying out Chouseiden. It does have the comforts of a modern ryokan/hotel, such as toilets with washlets, fast WiFi and Western-style beds, and boasts 152m² of total living space, which is generous by any definition of a flagship ryokan room. The only drawback was the lack of a private Onsen (natural hot springs) bath in the room - something we've come to expect at top-level ryokans, at least (and especially) in their top rooms. Some of the standard rooms do offer in-room Onsen baths, however, which might tip the scales to the non-villa rooms' favor for some people. As a consolation, Kotohira Kadan offers the use of their private bath (which can be rented out by the hour), and it's free for guests staying at one of the Hanare Villa rooms. Food was served in our room, and it was a delight. While it's not the best ryokan meal we've ever had, we appreciated the efforts taken by the kitchen staff to offer seasonal and local dishes that gave us a good taste of Kagawa. In particular, the deep-fried Pike Conger with simmered vegetables doused in a dashi broth was unique and flavorful, as well as the Red Sea Bream Shabu Shabu (Hot Pot.) Breakfast was also varied and bountiful, although nothing really blew us away, which is just as well, since we were planning to go on an Udon tasting expedition beginning later that morning. The grounds are not massive, but there's a pretty little pond with some interesting vegetation around it. And the architecture of the Hanare Villas (including Chouseiden) give Kotohira Kadan a real sense of place given its proximity to Kotohira-gu. Keep in mind that the property is quite large when it comes to room count (43 total), so there may be some walking between your room and the main reception and lounge areas (from Chouseiden, you'll need to walk outside for a short distance - fine if the weather is cooperating.) Service is not up to the standards set by top luxury r

I stayed here for the first time on my way back from hiking Mt. ** from Kotohira Shrine, and it was a comfortable stay with ample facilities including a hot spring bath and free massage machines, and the room was well furnished. There was Wi-Fi connection in the building, and the front desk was also able to provide information on nearby restaurants and convenience stores, so I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity. (Some drawbacks include the limited hours for using the hot spring bath, and the fact that the parking lot is a little difficult to find when accessing from the Konpira Shrine side, and the limited capacity.)

The location is the best, but free parking, new renewed facilities, clean, modern and artistic sense, spacious rooms, mini-mini refrigerator, hair dryer, air conditioning. However, if you go alone, it may be scary to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night ㅋㅋ. Check in at a pretty cafe on the first floor, there is also an elevator

Although I was worried about seeing the word of mouth of trip advisor and Rakuten travel in advance, I think it was not as bad as I thought, and it was comfortable and the customer service was kind. The building, especially the shared part (corridor and elevator) is certainly ragged, but it took a few minutes to spend in the shared part during my stay and I didn't care. The room was quite clean and I didn't feel the smell like it was in other word of mouth. However, because there are few outlets, I think it is good for those who are worried to bring an extension code. I did it. The hot springs are １ day in the rooftop open air and ２ day in the inner hot water. The rooftop open air was hot because the sun was tight, but the scenery can be relaxed well except for it. The inner bath was quite beautiful. My wife used a rental bath (40 minutes 2,200 yen), but it was beautiful and good. The meal was delicious on the first day, sashimi, seafood boiling, rice, and appetizer ３ seeds, horn boiling and sashimi were especially delicious on the second day. The customer service at the meal place was also kind. It is a transportation flight, but I went by plane, but there is a bus stop in front of the inn by the airport bus, and the airport bus stop on the return is also convenient to walk for less than 5 minutes. There is also a convenience store nearby, and of course the approach to the kintohira Gu shrine is also very close. I think it is good to think about cost performance except for those who say that it is not a luxury inn. By the way, I will stay at super luxury hotels (Marriott category 8, Empire Hotel, hotels representing the country overseas, etc.), super luxury inns, and I sometimes stayed at a cartoon cafe when I didn't have money. Considering cost performance, I think the evaluation is enough even ４.
