Luxurious Ryokan in Shikoku - Kotohira Kadan

Kotohira Kadan is a luxurious ryokan in Kotohira Onsen town. As the town is not big, it is easy to walk to the ryokan from the town center. The lodging premise is large and has parking a few spaces in front of the ryokan lobby, and a large parking lot just across the street. We booked a four person room with private spa , and it was truly enjoyable. The room has a separate bedroom with two full size beds which were very comfortable. Two other futons were set in the living room in the evening. The bathroom was spacious with a private spa. There is also a balcony with sofa, overlooking the lovely Japanese garden below. We checked in quite late in the evening but the staff were helpful to drive us back into the Main Street and to the few izakayas that were opened. The premise is well maintained. It has two public spa for male and female guests. It also has private spa that can be booked in advance - including a private room with TV, sofa within the spa room. Each guest can book the private spa for one 45 minutes session for free during their stay. Guests can also enjoy a glass of sparkling wine in the bar after 9 pm as well as enjoy the foot bath overlooking the garden. Overall we had a great time at this ryokan and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kotohira. #ryokan #japan #shikoku #Kotohira
