Best Kuroshio Hotels

"Clean hotel with amazing with of the Pacific Ocean from inside the room. The staffs are very helpful and offered to carry my luggage up the stairs. However due to language barrier, did not tell me that I can see the ocean and sunrise from my room. I missed the beautiful view as the curtains are close and did not discover the view until I was about to checkout. It is a regret as I believe the sunrise would be stunning. Would highly recommend booking at the restaurant in advance, as there is no much to eat and shop nearby. The restaurant is small scaled, so might not be able to cater last minute orders. Overall a very nice stay, given the budget. Suitable for those who are on driving."

"A long-established hotel in Shimanto, there is a large supermarket nearby, a 2-minute walk away, and across a bridge. There is a traditional canteen in the fruit market, where many drivers go to eat, and people who are not from the market can also go in. w is delicious, open in the morning until 1:00 noon. Shimanto is very comfortable and relaxing. Get off at JR Nakamura Station, then rent a bicycle at the tourist complex on the left side of the station and ride around Shimanto's small markets and clear streams."

"The room is also a large communal bath (with sauna)."

"Since there are not many triple rooms available, I chose this hotel. The hotel is in a good location, only a 5-7 minute walk from the JR station. It has complete basic facilities, the staff is friendly, and there is a Shimanto agricultural product supermarket next door."

"The room is very clean and space is very good in Japan standard. The front desk staff are super helpful. I wanted to open a bottle of wine and didn't have a wine opener. When I asked the front desk staff. He tried his best to help and unfortunately there was not a wine opener and I borrowed a beer opener instead. Just a few minutes later, I managed to open the wine using the beer opener and I went down to the front desk to return the opener. When lift door opened, I saw the front staff wanted to get into the lift with a screwdriver and 2 screws in his hand. I was really so touched when I saw him not giving up and still wanted to help me. I am totally zero to Japanese, and I can't remember the gentleman's name unfortunately. I really want to say a big thank you to the gentleman who tried his best to help me. The location of the hotel is good with a supermarket and a convenient shop next door. There a massage chair in the room for guests to use at FOC. I you drive, there is car park on-site and it's free."

"Excellent location with shopping stores and restaurants nearby.A heated room with windows that can be opened is a big plus.The man at the front desk speaks really good English!Very close to the famous wild eel restaurant."

"The hotel is on the top of the mountain in Weisong Park. If you have luggage, you need to take a taxi from JR station to the hotel. Because there is a steep mountain road, you can walk from the hotel to the bottom of the mountain in a few minutes with your bare hands. Several bridges over the Shimanto River can be seen in the hotel room. The room is a bit big, with a total of three rooms, the outermost one has six posts, the middle bedroom has eight posts, and the inside has four posts, which is relatively large in Japanese-style hotels. When the guest is about to go out, the waiter will prepare your shoes early, and when the guest comes back to the room, the waiter will cool the shoes before putting them away. The Japanese cuisine in the morning and evening is also good."

"The location is convenient and the facility is an old style hotel. The room faces the direction of Chitie Bridge, and you can see the sunset and a large green grass park. The breakfast is average, the service is average, there is no way to contact the front desk directly, you have to go to the front desk to ask for an extra pillow."

"The hotel is in a very remote place. If you don't drive by yourself, it takes 15 minutes by bus. There are only a few buses a day, so transportation is inconvenient. The room is on the underground floor, facing the trees at the back. The interior of the house is decorated in wood color, but the bathroom is in the style of an old-style hot spring hotel. The hotel has indoor and outdoor hot springs, but the outdoor hot springs are not hot enough. Due to its remote location and few street lights around, you can see many stars when you look up."
