A 15-minute walk from JR Kotohira Station, Kotohira Kadan offers natural hot spring baths and spacious Japanese-style rooms, some with a private outdoor hot spring bath.

Lovely room with a great view of the garden and distant mountains. The private bath on our balcony was excellent plus there was another bath that could be booked for private use with a view of the forest, free of charge. We had 2 kaiseki dinners which were delicious. There was plenty of food but the portions were more manageable than some similar hotels. The tempura was the best we've ever had! Staff were very friendly. You can walk to Kompira-san via a direct route from behind the property. There was a hotel shuttle bus to the station.

    Beautiful haven of tranquility. The design and craftsmanship in the rooms was exquisite. The outdoor onsen bath, though small, was wonderful. The ryokan is a quick walk to the historic Kabuki theater if you take the path behind the property. The theater is definitely worth a visit. We wish we had stayed a second night.

    The food was sublime - 9 to 12 small plates for each meal. The staff was very kind and helpful. The rock onsen on the roof was lovely with a view on the mountains.

    Located near Kotohira city station, close to Kotohira-gu Shrine. Have 1 onsen for common use and 4 private onsens. Room is very clean, have really nice tableware. Room design is very new in traditional Japanese style. You can also choose colourful yukata to wear. Registration staff was very helpful.

    The hotel was in a good location with free outdoor parking close to the entrance. The hotel seems very new with a well designed and comfortable room. The reception staff were friendly and attentive. There is a Lawsons next door, only wish that chain was throughout Australia. Also a large store across the road. The whole place exceptionally clean. Got a great night's sleep.

    Beautiful elegant stylish hotel . The best in that area and very good value. 10 minute walk from the train station and in the middle of the best high street and walking distance to all the key sites

    Fantastic stay. The onsen was spotlessly clean and lovely. The room was extremely nice and well designed. I enjoyed the breakfast and finally the staff were wonderful. I'd recommend this property.
