This Onsen Ryokan was amazing! Nestled in between the narrow mountain passes on Shikoku, the hotel is located right next to a rushing waterfall. The outdoor hot spring baths were very relaxing. The pools have different temperatures and as a person who cannot soak in hot water for very long, I quite enjoyed their reclining seat pools. The water was more lukewarm and I could soak while watching the scenery. The crowning jewel of the outdoor baths was definitely the pool directly in front of the waterfall. It was an amazing sight, I tried it out twice but was not able to stay in the water for too long due to the high temperature. For the friend in our group who was a bit shy about bathing with other people, there were private outdoor baths he was able to reserve once a day for free (1 hour period for each session). The other couple in our party weee staying in a room that had its own private hot spring bath attached. For our group of 3 people we stayed in one of the mountain huts. This separate building had a nice balcony with a hammock and plenty of space to lounge around. Though it was a bit of an uphill hike from the main building, which became laborious after a full dinner. The dinner was also fantastic! I would recommend this place to anyone! Stay here if you have the chance!

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

Expérience exceptionnelle pour une plongée haut de gamme dans l’art de vie japonais. Nous y arrivons en train et le transfert depuis la jolie ville de Kotohira se fait facilement en taxi. L’hôtel a une navette à heure fixe, une voiture aurait été nécessaire pour visiter la région. Cependant, la navette de l’hôtel nous a emmener dans le village pour démarrer une jolie promenade le long d’un torrent. Dans ce village, nous avons déjeuné dans un Udon rural à faire absolument ! Les repas à l’hôtel, particulièrement les petits- déjeuners sont excellents. Enfin, le must absolu de cet hôtel sont les 2 Onsens ouverts sur la forêt et les cascades.

旅館の周囲は何もないただ山と自然のみ。わんこ連れだったので、里山ヒュッテへ宿泊。本館から離れて山の斜面に作られたコテージでしたが、斜面がとても急で大浴場やレストランへ行くのに少々息切れがする。冬の時期は寒いのでちょっと遠慮したい気分。 宿泊は25000円／人程度。食事もおいしかったし、レストランではスタッフの方の笑顔と行き届いたサービスに満足しました。特にわんこ同伴であることを意識してくれて、通常２時間程度かかる食事時間を短縮したり、デザートとホールケーキ（アニバーサリープラン用）はお部屋で食べられるよう手配してくれたりで、とても親切でした。 大浴場はとても広くて、星空も眺められ、時期には蛍が目の前の川に乱舞するとのこと。見てみたい！ 里山で荷物が運べないなぁと思っていたら、チェックアウトに合わせて荷物を持ちに来てくれたので、助かりました。

お風呂に浮かぶ大量の虫は仕方ないとしても、全体的に清掃レベルが低過ぎます。（仕事で泊まるビジネス・シティホテルの方がよほど綺麗） 食事はまぁまぁ美味しいが低予算。 朝食にまともな大きさの飲み物がつかないなら、朝食にもドリンクメニューを出して欲しいです。 ヒュッテの家具も座り心地が悪く、低い天井を高く見せるためなのでしょうが利用者目線で一度座ってみたら分かると思います。 一番ダメなのは接客。バラツキがありすぎます。 気が利かないとか無愛想とかではなく、失礼が過ぎます。 朝食の7時半は混んでますからお勧めできません、（連泊で2日目だけお願いしても嫌な顔されました）、連泊なのにお風呂も食事も2日目の予約のことはとても聞いてはいけない態度、ご不便おかけしますの前置きとか、やんわりした物言いはできないものでしょうか。 外国人ならまだ解ります（対応良かったですけど） 疲れる滞在になりました。
