Best Hotels in Higashikagawa

The hotel is just located on the left side of the station. It’s really wonderful. There is also a convenience store located at the ground floor which also makes our lives so much easier. The room (Hollywood twin) is a large and spacious room that can easily accommodate the opening of 2 large suitcases (28 inch). The bathroom is also generous in space, and we could actually move around freely and change clothes in the toilet for once (as compared to other chain hotels in Japan). It has all the comforts and amenities of a proper graded hotel, but the air conditioning was poor. Opened the windows but still felt a little warm throughout the night. The other minor “issue” I observed was how they tried to “automate” the check-in which is a failure in my opinion. Automation is to reduce workflow/ manual work required by parties. However in this case, I had to go to the reception desk for them to make copies of our passport and issue a card (to be used at the check-in machine). Thereafter I have to walk to the machine and insert the card, press a bunch of buttons to be issued the room and room key. So from a customer perspective I’m actually troubled twice, because I need to make 2 stops before actually getting my room. So what’s the point of this check-in machine? Fail to see the benefits of it.

Hotel environment 1⃣️ flow, the room has invincible sea view, the service is in place, but it has not been opened for a long time, the design is traditional and not fashionable, the equipment is relatively old, it can be improved 1⃣️, it is more ideal, in addition, the instructions are mostly Japanese, more foreign language instructions for foreigners (such as Chinese and English) are more 👌! Overall, I am quite satisfied.

The Hotel is right on top of Japan Railway Tokushima Station and one minute walk from the main bus terminal in Tokushima, too. Very convenient not only to explore the city of Tokushima, but also to explore Tokushima's rich nature and culture, still hidden gem in Japan. Hotel was built about 30 years ago but it is well maintained and rooms are spacious compared with more recent ones. Hotel staffs are very courteous. It forms a part of the station building where you can find many restaurants with Japanese and local flavors as well as souvenir shops.

It is a big hotel. There was a free drink and hot water ice service to choose yukata and amenities. The large communal bath is on the top floor, and the open-air bath is small but comfortable and recommended. There is a shampoo bar where you can use your favorite type in a container. The room is in a good location with a view of the sea from the large window. The breakfast buffet was also very delicious. It may be inconvenient if you go to other islands as it is a little far from the main port. It takes about 40 minutes by car.
