Ryokans in Kochi Prefecture

"It was a quiet and serene place at the end of the road, by the sea with the ocean waves moving to shore below, and the sounds of a busy and noisy society far away. You could even see the stars and planets at night in the darkness."

"Room was huge and comfortable with a great sitting area and fantastic view. Dinner was absolutely wonderful. "

"良かった｡"

"A small family-run guest house in Kami, which is a small town with few shops and restaurants. The onsen was located just off the main road thus considered convenient (for self drive). All guest rooms (with Japanese tatami) were located upstairs with narrow corridor, thus we couldn't bring luggage up but pack some overnight stuff instead.

"The worst place I have ever stayed in Japan"

The lobby is dirty, the sofas are stained, you cannot sit on them. In the rooms the curtains are stained, torn, no blinds. The condition of every furniture is bad, needs fixing or get new. The food is served in a old people home dyining room. Looks like the fifties, or a senatorium in the former USSR. The food...

"Relaxing stay in a beautiful location.... absolutely worth the drive"

"気さくな女将さんが家族を迎えるような感じでした。 浴場は贅沢を言わなければ入れます。が、 備品は一切ありません。ティッシュペーパーさえ無いのは論外でした。"

"Friendly service, nice ofuro, food was average, futon bedding is so thin its like sleeping on a hard floor."
