Kotohira Onsen Kotosankaku
8,3/10 Excellent - Based on 766 reviews
An oasis of serenity nestled at the foot of Mount Konpira, this ryokan in Kotohira combines tradition and modernity in an enchanting setting. The thermal baths, true treasures, invite relaxation, while massages on request promise complete relaxation. The common areas, elegantly decorated in a classic Japanese style, offer a peaceful refuge conducive to meditation and contemplation of the surrounding landscape.
Beautifully arranged with authentic tatamis, the rooms embody the very essence of Japanese hospitality. Some are adorned with private open-air bathtubs, offering a unique experience facing the misty panoramas of Konpira. Equipped with traditional futons or modern beds, they harmoniously blend Western comfort and Japanese charm, creating a space conducive to serenity.
Although the Ichiriki Jyaya restaurant offers a refined kaiseki with local flavors, the Kotohira area is also full of typical establishments to explore the regional cuisine, such as the famous udon restaurants located just a few steps away. Whether dining on-site or in the vicinity, every meal becomes a celebration of Kagawa’s terroir, in the warm spirit unique to places steeped in history.
