The place is unusual, something between a good out-of-town restaurant, handicraft center, highway hot spring facility of average quality and a hotel (itself). The location is good (again, it is out of Kochi, but not too far), the view from the rooms is quite scenic and the restaurant is pretentious but high-quality. At the same time, I did not feel at home. It is a good place to have a meal and an ok place to stay overnight, but not more than that.

The location is very central and within walking distance to main tourist attractions like Kochi Castle Ruins and Hirome Market. We could park right in front of the hotel. There is rear parking too. The buffet breakfast is very good and it caters for Japanese style as well as western style. The staff is helpful though English is limited. The room price was the cheapest for the whole trip.

Location excellent. Right in front of the JR Kochi station about a 2 min walk straight ahead. We paid 900 yen for the Japanese breakfast buffet. It was decent for a business hotel. There isn't much to eat around there so it was convenient. Ambiance was nice in the eating area. Rooms are up to date in decor. The size is small which is standard for Japanese hotels.

It was only half a mile from Kochi railway station and very close to Kochi shrine and Hirome food market. The room was comfortable with a lovely city view. An excellent shower. Free coffee is available to guests in the morning and evening. Luggage could be left until check in time. A trip on the My You bus down to the coast is a must

The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The front desk staff were very accommodating for me despite being a foreigner with poor Japanese language skills. I was helped by an employee who spoke great English. I definitely recommend this hotel to all travelers. I will use them again if I have business in Kochi.

Older but well kept property, Jyoseikan is great value and convenient location for Kochi visitors as it is walking distance from the Kochi Castle and Hirome Market and buses and trams stoop right around the hotel to other destinations in Kochi City.

Hotel Minatoya is my go to place to stay when I go to Kochi. It’s located close to the downtown shopping district area and is great value for the price. The staff are also always very friendly and helpful and checking in and out is super easy.

Great location - Kochi is a fun city to explore, as well as to take train or bus trips to nearby sites. Hotel is a five minute walk to the train station.

It is close to all the good places in Kochi. It is quiet so you can rest peacefully overnight.

Staff was really helpful. The room was comfortable, good bed, with a desk to work and armchairs. It is silent. Visiting the castle nearby was really interesting. An interesting experience: I decided to walk back to the airport which is 16km away (3:30 walk).

Lovely onsen- missing towels. Wish signage had more English language and wish staff had some english,

The hotel installations where very confortable! I definitely recommend this place!

The early evening was overcast with low hanging clouds, as I pressed my little Toyota Vitz up the mountain roads towards the Auberge. Once again, I encountered the single lane roads winding along the mountain gorges’ steep slopes with a vertiginous drop into the river bed below, sometimes masked by the island’s lush forest. I was running a little late for dinner time, being “held back” by the coast’s scenery just a little too long. The car’s navigation system (read: back seat driver), was continuously scolding me with a chorus of “overspeed detected”, “abrupt steering detected” and “sudden deceleration detected”, capped with “please drive carefully” … I did not want to miss the dinner. I was hoping that the navigation lady would eventually give up on me …. no such luck, if there is an option to keep it quiet is well hidden in the GPS menus. The valley/gorge sometimes widens to allow for the leveling of terrasses where rice, fruits and vegetables are cultivated. With the mist rising from the forest and reaching up to the clouds above, it appeared to be a drive into an mystical magical land straight out of the movies. Upon arrival, I am struck by the unique architecture of the hotel. Auberge Tosayama is beautifully designed, blending a structure of glass, concrete and wood overlooking the steep forest slopes below. Glass walls reach from the ground to the high ceilings, giving the impression of being outdoors. A stream runs along a stairway into a pool surrounding walkways on the floor below. The melody of running and churning water permeates the Auberge. The “hallway” to the room is under an outdoor covered wood structure … and real keys are still in use here. The room itself is tastefully designed with and apparent wood post and beam structure. The window runs from floor to ceiling here too, overlooking the forest canopy. There is no TV … and it is not missed.

Directly across from nice beach cove. Nice onsen and traditional restaurant meals.

The staff was very helpful, even with the language barrier. Breakfast was delicious, more continental than our American hotels. Room was very clean. Location was perfect for our itinerary.

It's a beautiful house (I stayed in the west wing, which ist designed all around the Katsuo fish, which is also the namegiver). The dorms beds are spacious and equipped with a curtain, outlet, light and little beside shelf. I didn't cook, but the kitchen seemed well equipped and the common space is more like a cozy living room. The staff is super nice and we got to talk for quite a bit, all in Japanese even though I'm really bad at it. They speak English well, but if you make an effort to practice your Japanese they will be happy to help!

First of all, the staff was very friendly and nice and helped us a lot with many things, such as dinner reservation, taking care of our luggage and bike rental. The hotel has a sophisticated yet cosy atmosphere and we loved our room overlooking the river. Within walking distance you will find an activity center (canoo, bike rental etc), a few shops and restaurants and you can drive a short distance to a popular spot on the lake where you can swim and even jump off a bridge! We truly enjoyed our stay in the hotel and would have liked to stay longer as it felt very relaxing.

Staff very helpful and pleasant. Limited English (and we knew no Japanese) however Konan is not a popular tourist location and staff were lovely. Lovely Japanese bath attached to hotel and are able to use for a small fee. Rooms are clean and neat.
