"Kotohira Onsen Onyado Shikishimakan was 1 of about 8 hotels we stayed at over about 2 weeks in Japan. While all the places we stayed were good, this was the best. Their onsen is outstanding as were the meals. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to experience the Real Japan!"

"母の卒寿のお祝いに妹と2人で高齢の母を連れて宿泊しました。90歳のお祝いということでホテルのマナジャーさん或いは支配人らしき方にとても良くして頂きました。紫の衣装を貸して頂き、色紙に即興で母の人生の詩まで読んで頂いて､!! いい思い出になったと母も喜んでいました。帰ってから写真と一緒に飾り、その前に座ってジッと見つめたりもしていました。多分、母を連れて旅行に行けるのは今回が最後になると思いますので、とても良い卒寿のお祝いして頂き感謝の気持ちで一杯です。 お料理も美味しかったし、従業員の方も外国人なのに日本語でとても礼儀正しく丁寧に接して頂きました。 良い経験をさせていただきました。"
