Hotels with Parking in Kotohira

Friendly staff. Lovely garden. Nice facilities.

Best hotel I've stayed at in Japan. Beautiful building, incredibly lovely and helpful staff. Meals were delicious and plentiful. I proposed to my new fiancee here and I'm so glad I did because the staff and the hotel could not have been any better.

Beautiful hotel in great location Sento bath was lovely and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful Would definitely highly recommend.

Great value for money, Massage on 8th floor

We enjoyed our one-night stay a lot! Free parking, very close and walking distance to the Kotohiragu area. The room itself was very spacious for 2 people. The onsen was also very nice, there were multiple hot tubs (including jet/jacuzzi ones) indoors and outdoors, and they switch the onsen between male and female overnight. There's also restaurants within the hotel itself. The deco of the hotel along the main walkway and the reception was quite traditional and was nice to appreciate.

We booked the room that had the private bathroom and it was a huge and fabulous room. Very traditional. The staff were super helpful: they helped us organize one of our activity that required a taxi, ropeway, etc… We highly recommend this hotel.

The staff was very helpful and nice. We had a good time. The room are basic but you have all you need. The plywood style is very trendy. The hostel have everything you need downstairs and it’s very clean.

It was a clean and new house. I really like the beds. They were so comfortable. And they had every amenity you can possibly need, including chilled bottled water and even snacks. The location was amazing.

The location is great, the host is really nice and knowledgeable, and it has everything you need. All the fox decor was whimsical and fun, too!

The facility was centrally located. The owners and staff were very accommodating. We were able to communicate adequately even though they didn't speak English and we didn't speak Japanese. The onsens were super clean and the water was toasty. We were impressed with our experience and would not hesitate to stay at the Takaraya again if we ever return to Kotohira.

The space and cleaness. Value for money.

Among the many hotels in the small town of Kotohira, Kotohira Riverside Hotel is one of the architecturally more pleasing ones, plus it is located on the bank of the river flowing lazily through the town. The rooms have view into the hills and over parts of the town (although some of the ugly hotel blocks or the nearby love hotel in pink clearly do not count among the three famous views of Japan ;-) ). The location is quiet, despite its proximity to the quaint Kotoden Kotohira train station and the JR Kotohira station, which is slightly farther away. Within a few minutes by foot, there are many restaurants as well as the covered shopping district. Also close by is the start of the stairway to Kenpira-san, the Shinto shrine that made Kotohira a famous place for pilgrims. Check-in was smooth, with very friendly and helpful staff (speaking a tiny amount of Japanese helps...). I got a spacious, lovingly decorated room with river view, a very comfortable bed, a good desk and all the usual amenities. The hotel being of moderate size, the breakfast buffet was not lavish, but still with a wide choice of tasty dishes – mostly Japanese, but also with bread, pastry, cereals, fruit etc. catering to Western palates. My stay was on one of the busiest weekends of summer (it was very hard to find lodging at all). Despite this, the price was moderate, making this hotel very good value for the money.

Hotel is close to the theme park as it is the only hotel associated with the theme park. BUT the hotel and theme park is quite far from the train station. There is a free bus shuttle but runs infrequently. We ended up taking taxis to the facility . The hotel is huge and it had lots of things that could accommodate the large crowd: Pool and game rooms for children, large onsen baths, large self serve restaurant, and a big store for shopping.

We had a good private bathroom with tub.
