Best Hotels in Nakatosa, Japan

Because of the new facility, the corner of the building is beautiful 々. It is conveniently located where you can go, so you can enjoy various things on the premises as well as sweets. Local rice such as bonito and cherry blossoms at ”Ichimonya”. You can buy local souvenirs at the next ”Bussankan Sun River Shimanto”. Moreover, if you show the room key, you will be discounted. There is no explanation, so I think it is better to look at the paper given before shopping. There is no discount on New Year's Day, so there is only an explanation. I am happy with the welcome drink.

Located on the high ground of the Shimanto River Estuary, a little far from the center of Shimanto City, it is an inn surrounded by nature, adjacent to a large park. Because of that, the night is very dark. At night, I went to Nakamura town to eat and came back by car, but I was surprised by the darkness around the inn. There are front desks, shops, restaurants, baths, etc. in the main building, and the rooms are different buildings. There is a small building in the lounge and bar on the way from the main building, and there is a two-story cottage that surrounds the courtyard. There is a small table and chair in the courtyard, a pleasant place. Some people sat and opened their personal computers. The room seems to have an open-air bath or a room with a loft, but we used a Japanese room. Not very large, but calm in a tatami room. Outside the veranda is also surrounded by trees 々 and quiet. There is a unit bus in the room, but there is a large bath in the main building. There were hot springs, seawater open-air baths and medicine baths, which we enjoyed. Especially, the medicine bath seemed to be very good and it was good. The cheek to take the bath was nice. I was able to spend very relaxing.

The staff is very friendly and very likable. The room is also very spacious. It is located in the center of Lujiyuan Town. Although it is difficult to reach by public transportation, it is very convenient for sightseeing. Breakfast is a bit strong for Kansai people, but it is delicious. It’s hard to understand that coffee after a meal costs 400 yen... This is not the hotel’s fault, but the designer’s responsibility, but there are many ”???” parts in the room. For example, the lack of power (there is only one power supply next to the TV!) is difficult for today's digital and mobile life, even if the table is large, the area is dark and difficult to use for work. The table seems to be a custom order, looks neat and looks good, but it is not easy to use. At the time of construction, the steps of the single bathroom should be said to be barrier-free, but why it was so designed is a mystery. Because it is a pure white material, it is difficult to see the steps, so it is dangerous for healthy people to get rid of the steps. Similarly, the layout of the bathtub with legs looks good, but the floor and foot pads are submerged in the water. I sympathize with those workers who have to clean the space behind the bathtub with or without their arms. Most importantly, I want to express my sympathy to the city hall and the taxpayers responsible for maintaining the outer wall of Kaya in the town. This is a stylish building, but I am worried about the profitability of management costs (laughs)

The national convention of ”Women's Association to Improve Aging Society” was held in Matsuyama City, Shikoku on October 23, 2021. Since I'm going to Shikoku, I booked and stayed at ”Villa Santorini” with my 93-year-old mother. It was photogenic and all the staff were kind, but it was the worst and worst for my 93 year old mother. It rained lightly from the time of arrival, and only the outer stairs to the front desk. Same from the front desk to the room. (No railing.) The porch at the entrance of the room was filled with water and seemed to slip, and my shoes got wet. The ultimate was a restaurant in a separate building on the 3rd floor, quite far away! I couldn't understand the difficulty of climbing the stairs, probably because my mother looked young for 93 years old, or because all the staff were young. (When I saw it the next morning, it was a long staircase, but it was a very nice staircase. Of course, there is no handrail.) Finally, my mother said that it was too hard to proceed and ”go home.” However, to get back to the room, you have to go back the same long road, and the down road is difficult again. The ultimate is Haccho with chest! It's only 3 steps, but in the rain, it's nice, but (for my 93-year-old mother) I patiently climbed a long uphill, and at the end there is no handkerchief. It seemed to be really painful, and as soon as I entered the dining room door, I took out my handkerchief and started crying. ”What bad thing do I have to do and see such a terrible thing?” I cried, so I was full of feelings of regret. I was in trouble because the restaurant was dark again. I learned for the first time at a restaurant here that as I get older, my eyes become harder to see. My mother said ”I can't see it, it's dark”, so the staff turned on a spare light on the stepladder, but it was still not bright. The staff were very kind, but in terms of hardware, I wanted to let you know clearly, ”There is no elevator. Only the outer stairs.” Business owners and customers are not all young people, so please consider it.

It stands on the mountain. The view from the top floor was the best. The bath was also colored 々, and it was a hot spring with a salt smell, and the open air was also wide and good. If you are going by JR, you can also climb the back road of Naoto for 4 minutes from Hakawa Station and about 5 minutes from there. The signboard is secretly coming out, but the road is hard to understand and when the sun is over, it doesn't feel dark to walk & it is quite slippery after raining, so it turns around the corner of the Koyaki shop that has been around from the public road for about 12 minutes The road to go (about 900 meters away from the road that comes out in Google maps) is recommended for ordinary shoes. Or you can go from ino station by taxi for 1000 yen (as of 2022) in 7-8 minutes. The hotel transfer is only ino station at 16 o'clock (reservation is necessary), so I think it would be better to ride it if the timing is right. The hotel is said to be the facilities of the inn of Kanpo at the height of the year, but I think it is still cleanly maintained. One thing I was worried about was that there was a dried insect in the lighting of the fluorescent lamp in the room, so it might be better to clean it occasionally. It may be no choice because it gathers in the light. I stayed for a long time at the pilgrimage and the activity of the ninyodo gawa River, but I am generally very satisfied.
