Lot of arts and cultural displays with delicious Udon nearby (Free parking for the shrine)

Reviewed By psprof

This was a nice hotel experience for us and the price was relatively good for a ryokan. We actually got an option without the in-room meal, which we really enjoyed because of the nearby udon and freedom it gives us. the fact that they provide such an option is really a good quality of the hotel. The room was clean and the bath was quite nice. They change the baths in the morning so it is possible to experience both types of baths. One bath has a "warm" sauna rather than hot and the other bath has several different varieties of herbal baths. Walking around you can find a lot of different kinds of art and pottery, some of it very large and nice. We noticed a lot of people just ignoring all this, so it is worth stopping and taking a look around if you go to the hotel. They also had a robot in the lobby for the kids to play with. The room came with quite a few sweets and complimentary tea. More sweets than I am used to receiving in hotels, even in Japan. It also came with all the usual amenities. The staff were fine and accommodating. we had no issues. Parking was also free if you stay the night, which is much cheaper than the 1000 yen charged for people just visiting the shrine nearby.

Koubaitei

Koubaitei of Kagawa Prefecture is located on Monzen Machi town under the Konpira Shrine. We have our own hot spring water source, and the Original Onsen hotspring water source from the Onsen Village and of course we have 6 rooms with private open air hot spring cabins.

Elegant and Friendly Japanese-Style Hotel

Reviewed By NaMakani

The Koubaitei is an upscale Japanese-style hotel with an emphasis on service and comfort. My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights in mid-May, ‘18 on a small group tour composed of mostly British and Americans. Of the hotels we stayed in during our month-long visit to Japan, this was one of our favorites and we strongly recommend it if you are looking for a taste of Japanese hospitality at its finest, and you are ok with not being able to speak Japanese. Although some of the staff speak a small amount of English and westerners are warmly welcomed, this is most definitely a Japanese hotel – there is no English on the outside of the building and very little elsewhere. That aside, the staff were very friendly and attentive, obviously determined to make your stay pleasant. The Koubaitai is an easy walk from the JR station, though as part of its high level of service the hotel sent a small coach for our group and our luggage. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk to the main old-town approach to the Konpira-san temple, where there are a number of restaurants and shops. The lobby area is a stunning, high-ceiling open area with a wall of glass looking into a beautiful garden, and lots of comfortable places to sit and talk. Our room (907) was one of the largest we had during our month-long visit to Japan. It was attractive and well appointed, with the usual central table, a side table, and a mini-bar with tea-making facilities. Being in the Japanese style, the beds were futons placed on the room’s tatami mats while we were at dinner. They were fairly comfortable, even the firm rice-hull pillows. The bathroom was good-sized and attractive, with a separate rooms for the vanity, shower/tub (Onsen-style), and the usual Japanese starship captain’s chair toilet. The hotel baths were downstairs on the ground floor and were beautiful, with both indoor and outdoor pools. We had two excellent banquet-style meals during our stay, but since these were served to our group in a private room we can’t comment on the restaurant ala carte menu. The breakfast buffet was served in the restaurant, with two serving areas featuring a wide array of Japanese and western dishes. Everything we had was very good. The restaurant setting was off the lobby and was very pleasant. The Koubaitei is an excellent hotel and we don’t hesitate to recommend it. We stayed as part of a group, but we wouldn’t hesitate to return here as a couple.

Toramaru Ryokan (october 2016)

Reviewed By Maitheng

Located on the way to the shrine, you can still access it by car. Although it is so close to the shrine it is overlooking a river and our room was quiet. It was large and comfortable. We slept on tatami floor with futon and we thoroughly enjoyed it The food offered was plentiful and very tasty both dinner and breakfast. We were lucky to experience a very special festival: the kotohiragu night procession. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay there again.

Budget choice, great dinner and breakfast, shared toilet and no fridge in room

Reviewed By Anthony_Chow

It's 5 mins walk from the centre of downtown and entrance of Konpira. Budget price compared with nearby hotels, Japanese dinner and breakfast are surprice, though the dinning area is a bit small and crowded. Charged car park of the hotel is 250m from the hotel. The hotel has a public bath with onsen (which I knew in advance), toilet is shared (which I didn't know). The worst thing is that I bought some raw fish for my supper but find there is no fridge in room when I check-in. Except this, my stay is generally okay. We can also access free wifi in room.

Welcoming Ryokan

Reviewed By Bangalorebob4

We had a 4 night stay at Tsuruya Ryokan and were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. The manager, who came out to meet us in the car park, spoke English. When he was not available and comunication challenging the staff member used a voice translation app on her phone. We had asked for and got a non-smoking room. We had not asked for western beds but these had thoughtfully been provided. I don't recognise any issues mentioned in the previous post although agree decor in the room was a bit old - but not offensively so. There was a foot spa and communal bath house - we used and enjoyed both. Our room had no free wifi but we had access to that in the lounge. Food was excellent at both dinner and breakfast and overall value for money was good. We would stay again if in the area and definitely if visiting the nearby shrine as location for that is perfect.
