Katsuo Guesthouse

designed with a different theme in mind, so you are guaranteed to have an interesting stay! The guesthouse has two sites: a Japanese-style wing and a Western-style wing. The Japanese wing was opened in 2012 as the first guesthouse in Kochi. The newly built Western wing is the product of a collaboration by several local designers and artists – now well-known for its large glass window of swimming Katsuo fish. The guesthouse’s owner “Maki-san” is very proud of the role that the Katsuo fish has had in Kochi’s history and is happy to share as Kochi’s informal ambassador!

Guesthouse Lu Lu Lu

Clean, fresh, quiet, comfortable!

Reviewed By x42arisa42x

I stayed here in a 2-bed private room with my friend, and it was great! It was spacious enough for both of us and our suitcases to fit very comfortably. The room was cheerful and light. Everything, including the bathrooms, was clean, and the air felt clean and fresh too. The owners clearly take care to keep everything nice. They were also very friendly and took time to welcome us and give us recommendations on where to go and what to see in Kochi. It was easily accessible by the Tosaden tram or JR line and it was quick to get to the center of town. It was quiet and comfortable so I was able to get a good night’s sleep. Plus the breakfast in the cafe downstairs was delicious and inexpensive! It was also excellent value. I would stay here again!! I wish all guesthouses and hostels were this great.

旅人ならふと誰かに触れ合いたくなるもの。このゲストハウスは、寝心地も近くにある温泉も素晴らしい。でも、本当に、素晴らしいのは、このゲストハウスのお母さん。笑顔も素敵、話も面白い。また、会いたくなるし、正直誰にも教えたくない旅人の居場所です。^_^

Guest House Tosa

家に帰ってきたような感覚。

Reviewed By budda54

青春18きっぷで四国一周の道中に宿泊しました。立地は高知駅から徒歩10分足らずで行ける距離にあり、飲食店もコンビニも近くにあるので好立地です。ただ、入り口が民家の玄関のようなので見落としがちなのでご注意を。 宿に到着して、玄関にあるインターホンを押しても全く反応がなく、人の気配すら無かったのでオーナーに電話すると「あれ、今日宿泊だった!?みんなキャンセルしたと思って準備してなかった!」と。普通なら腹が立ってしまうところですが、オーナーさんがこれまたいい意味で“お母ちゃん”のような感じで応対してくれて、まったく不快になることもなかったです。そのあとに不自由ないように取り計らってくださり、ちょうど宿泊客が僕一人ということで大きい部屋にしてくれました。ゲストハウスではお風呂はシャワーだけが基本だと思うのですが、ここは時間に合わせて浴槽にお湯を張ってくれます。旅の疲れもしっかりとれました。翌朝の出発が早かったのに、それに合わせてお見送りもしてくださり、その日雨が降っていて傘もなかったのですが、なんと高知駅まで送ってくださりました。こんなホスピタリティーある宿初めてでまた泊まりたいと思いました。

オーナーさんが若く、応援したくなる宿。 古い民家のいいところを残しつつ手を入れていて、センスが光ります。 共有部分はとても広く、親戚の家に遊びに来たような感じでリラックスしました。

Harimayabashi Guesthouse

Japanese-style modern guesthouse inside Uotana shopping arcade that continues since 1661 You can enjoy this small guesthouse born inside the cozy and nostalgic “Uo-no-tana shopping arcade(魚の棚商店街)” which has its history from the Edo era. A small Kamaboko (boiled fish paste) store with a 3m frontage, built 50 years ago, was remodeled to give space to a fusion of Japanese and modern. You can also share information and enjoy the conversation with our guests, of which many are also foreigners, some others on their Shikoku pilgrimage and some traveling around Japan or even around the world. Located city centre, only 200meters from famous tourism spot "Harimaya-bashi", and only 3minute from bus station.

Feel like staying in somebody home

Reviewed By bari_ttc

I stayed with Harimayabashi Guesthouse for 3 nights, it was a good experience. The place is just like somebody's home with kitchen and common room. There are two small bathing/ shower room and two toilets. The beds are in capsule style and it is suprisingly comfortable. Staff Wally is very friendly, we talk we share we play. Thank you Wally for your welcome. He tried very best to talk to me, and I know speaking English is not easy for him. I had a very good stay here and a great place to explore Kochi city. PS. Please fix your official website!
