Hotel Dengan Bar di Kochi Prefecture, Japan

Cannot ask for more from this hotel. Everything is perfect. We have the best accomodation in here while in Shikoku, where we have stayed in 9 hotels. It was simply the best. The environment is recluse, though it is highly accessible with cars. The star-gazing experience in onsen is once in a lifetime. It was magical to bath under the starry night. The dining experience is exceptional, though it is a little pricey, compare to the dinner we have throught Shikoku. Still, I highly recommend to try the Japanese-style course The Manna provided.

The hotel is in a very remote place. If you don't drive by yourself, it takes 15 minutes by bus. There are only a few buses a day, so transportation is inconvenient. The room is on the underground floor, facing the trees at the back. The interior of the house is decorated in wood color, but the bathroom is in the style of an old-style hot spring hotel. The hotel has indoor and outdoor hot springs, but the outdoor hot springs are not hot enough. Due to its remote location and few street lights around, you can see many stars when you look up.

Clean hotel with amazing with of the Pacific Ocean from inside the room. The staffs are very helpful and offered to carry my luggage up the stairs. However due to language barrier, did not tell me that I can see the ocean and sunrise from my room. I missed the beautiful view as the curtains are close and did not discover the view until I was about to checkout. It is a regret as I believe the sunrise would be stunning. Would highly recommend booking at the restaurant in advance, as there is no much to eat and shop nearby. The restaurant is small scaled, so might not be able to cater last minute orders. Overall a very nice stay, given the budget. Suitable for those who are on driving.

今回平日なのに周りのホテルが高くて同じくらい出すなら、ということでここに決定。 部屋は洋室か和室か未定だったので分からず、初めて一人で和室に。 綺麗な部屋で広い、いや一人では広すぎるかも。 トイレと風呂は別の部屋。にもかかわらず広い。 他のホテルと違うのは、ポットにお湯が入ってる状態でもう一つ冷水も用意してある。 エレベーターの隣に階段がある。火事の時など分かりやすい。 駐車場からいったん出してもらい帰ってきたら覚えていた。ナンバーが同じでしたのでと。脱帽です。 悪い所はないのかというと、トイレの手を洗うところの下の水道管が汚れかさびがあり残念。使用すると目立つ所なので要改善。 おすすめのホテルです。

When we first arrived the front desk told us that we reserved a smoking room. In the trip.com booking it does not say so though. The front desk said all similar rooms for non-smoking were booked out. We went up to the room but it smelled so bad that we asked agin for a different room showing them the booking. According to the hotel the booking was not directly forward to them by trip.com but by a different service therefore it varied from our actual booking. They were nice enough to give us a different room which was non-smoking. Unfortunately the room still smelled strange - at least no smoke smell. Additionally there was almost no hot water coming out from the tap. In the photo the hot water was fully turned on. Another issue was the parking. The one night stay fee was 1000 Yen (not for 24h). We checked out at 11 a.m. but decided to eat lunch in town and leave the car at the hotel parking. We took out the car at 2 pm and had to pay an additional fee of 1200 yen.

The correspondence of all the staff of the hotel was very good. The large communal bath was also very good. It is within walking distance from Harimayabashi Bus Station and you can walk to sightseeing areas such as Kochi Castle. This room faces the Kagami River and the view from the balcony was good.

It was nice to be quiet

温泉も気持ち良く、ゆっくり過ごせました。 夕食の時のステーキ、脂が多いお肉なので、ミディアム以上の焼き方が良かったかも？お腹いっぱいになりました。 ゆっくり、のんびり過ごすにはお勧めです。
