It was in front of Tosho Port, so I didn't get lost, and it was convenient to be able to leave my luggage immediately after getting off the ferry. The hot springs were very salty and personally very good. I can't use the sauna at this time of year, but there was a cold bath and I enjoyed a alternate bath. The room was on the port side, so it was nice to see the ship coming and going. There is a souvenir shop and a convenience store near the harbor, so it's a good idea not to go shopping. I was a little worried about the quality of the service of the staff. I ordered a plan to serve seasonal dishes, so I was wondering what kind of dishes would be served, so I asked the serving person, but I was a little surprised that I didn't know the name of the dish. I thought it would be better if I had a piece of paper like today's article writing.

I stayed overnight (4 room) on a family trip that doubles as a celebration of Koki. The banquet room I had reserved in advance was nice with a view of the sunset, and the consideration of the staff who took care of me at the banquet hall was the best. In addition, the 4 person room used by the son and daughter family was large, and each room was well equipped and comfortable. I relaxed in a large bath (open-air bath) overlooking the sea, and woke up in the morning to the voice of the ugly. However, I think it would have been a more pleasant stay if you could improve the hospitality of the front desk staff such as the explanation method at check-in. Apart from the hotel, the wonderful hospitality of the volunteer staff 々 at Tosho Port and Shodoshima Scenic Area was a good memory for us.

I used the room of the new building. It is less than 々 away from Takamatsu station, and the bus seems to be not after the evening, so I went to the taxi. The room was very clean and the breakfast was very delicious. I was a little worried about the front desk from a little above, but I was very satisfied overall. I would like to use it at the new building next time I visit Takamatsu.

It is a formal hotel that can stay at a reasonable price, although it is a little far from the station. Because I used it on a trip to sanuki Udon, it was good to be able to access the famous shop where the procession can be made in taga town on foot (20 minutes) after the first walk in the morning. Other than that, the parking lot was 24 free time access, so it was convenient. The room used a standard twin. It's not large, but it was comfortable with no inconvenience, clean and well-cleaned in a beautiful room. This is a hotel you want to use again when staying in Takamatsu.

A Delightful Stay at JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu I recently had the pleasure of staying at JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. This hotel, conveniently located next to Takamatsu Station and offering breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea, combines comfort, luxury, and exceptional service in a way that makes it a top choice for both leisure and business travelers. Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the hotel’s elegant exterior and welcoming atmosphere. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, handled by friendly and professional staff who made me feel right at home. Their ability to converse in multiple languages was a notable plus, especially for international visitors like myself. The room I stayed in was nothing short of spectacular. Spacious, well-appointed, and featuring a contemporary design, it provided a perfect blend of functionality and comfort. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep after a long day of exploring. One of the highlights of the room was the panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea, which was especially stunning at sunrise and sunset. The room also included modern amenities such as a flat-screen TV, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and a well-stocked minibar. The hotel’s dining options are another aspect worth highlighting. I had the opportunity to dine at several of the on-site restaurants, and each meal was a culinary delight. The breakfast buffet at “The Dining” offered a wide variety of both Western and Japanese dishes, all of which were fresh and delicious. The sushi at “Seto,” the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, was some of the best I’ve ever had, prepared with the freshest ingredients and utmost care. The staff at the restaurants were attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience. One of the standout features of JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu is its array of facilities. The fitness center is well-equipped and maintained, allowing guests to keep up with their workout routines. I also took advantage of the hotel’s spa services, which were incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. The massage I received was one of the best I’ve experienced, leaving me feeling completely refreshed. Additionally, the hotel’s rooftop bar offers a spectacular view of the city and the sea, making it an ideal spot to unwind in the evening. The hotel’s location is another significant advantage. Being adjacent to Takamatsu Station, it provides easy access to local transportation, making it convenient to explore the city and its surroundings. The nearby Ritsurin Garden, one of Japan’s most famous historical gardens, is a must-visit, and the hotel’s proximity to the ferry terminal makes it easy to take a day trip to the nearby islands of the Seto Inland Sea. What truly sets JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu apart is the exceptional service provided by the staff. Every interaction I had with the hotel team was marked by warmth, professionalism, and a genuine desire to ensure my stay was perfect. They were always ready to assist with any request, providing helpful recommendations and making arrangements that enhanced my overall experience. In conclusion, my stay at JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu was exceptional in every way. The combination of luxurious accommodations, outstanding dining, excellent facilities, and top-notch service makes this hotel a standout choice in Takamatsu.

JR高松駅からは少し離れていて、琴電の瓦町駅が近いホテルです。 高松駅から歩くなら徒歩20分です。兵庫町の商店街と中央商店街をしばらく歩き、1本曲がったところにあります。 ホテル周辺は飲み屋が多いですが、予想していたよりは静かでした。 バストイレ別のホテルですが、洗面台がベッドの横にあるのでその点は好みが分かれるかもしれません。洗面台がもう少し大きいと良いと思いました。 部屋は大きめのキャリーバッグだと何とか広げられるか、少し厳しい広さのため、連泊期間が長いなら必要な荷物を絞ったほうが良さそうです。

If you speak Japanese, you can call the store in advance to communicate the details before check-in, such as whether you need the store to drive to pick you up, what time to have dinner and other details can be agreed in advance. A great dinner and breakfast is provided, shocking The service is thoughtful and meticulous, the environment is elegant, the store intimately provides skin care products (snow muscle essence), pajamas, slippers, bicycles, rafts, etc. According to the official website, you can even make an appointment to fish and dig vegetables There is a special sauna spa room, you can take a bath, and the perfect open-air hot spring, so enjoyable When leaving, the store can also arrange for the car to be sent to a convenient location Perfect experience ❤️

GGuest UserThe autumn trip of the year is approaching, so I will post it with memories of last year's trip. I was surprised to find a relatively dry evaluation. I went with my husband and wife. I'm the best! It's a word. As for the Viking, I don't think it's a little more ..., but I think there was something like Shodoshima and there were enough types. The floors and cooks were all kind and above all friendly. The facility is not new but well cleaned. It was October that I stayed, but if I was concerned, is it used in the on-season? It is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural to say that it is natural When I check in, I like to take a walk in the hotel, so I feel like I saw it. Shodoshima itself is a nice island, so it's a resort! If you spend time in that mood, you will add a little water. There is nothing to say about the bath! is! I was able to enjoy everything from the sunset-moon-Asahi and the indoor bath to the open-air bench. I was also happy that I was able to drink freely with the coffee machine in front of the front desk during my stay. In this era, foreigners are often seen as employees, but I was happy because there was no feeling of killing or feeling of disgust here. Even in a hotel of a decent rank, you often see staff who are in a bad mood regardless of nationality ... I thought I was writing this, but it may be the most pleasant point that I didn't have it. Prices will rise everywhere during summer vacation, so if the price goes up, some people will naturally become dry. I'm also going to be spicy if it's 40,000 per night. I go to various resorts in Okinawa, inns in hot springs, hotels in big cities, business hotels in the countryside, etc., but I always choose facilities with average prices. I think that such a person can be satisfied with the potato. I usually post only word of mouth such as precautions and convenience points, but I post it as an impression word of mouth because it was a facility that I wanted to go again including the island. As an aside, if you have a child jellyfish in the buffet, please try it. I really liked it and bought it at the shop and went home. It's delicious. This is also my personal preference.

From Takamatsu by boat to the grass wall port, turn left after leaving the ship, it will take about 20 minutes, and the scenery along the way is very good. The hotel is very clean and it is recommended to bring a pair of slippers. I can't walk with their shoes. The room is very large, tatami, there are not many places to eat around. The time between the passing buses is very long and long, and there are only a few stops for 300 yuan. It is recommended to buy more tickets for the place to go, hotels can buy.
