Facility is well maintained. The owner lady is very kind and a very good cook. Her home made plum wine is so good. Her son’s dish is quite delicious as well. We could enjoy Onsen( @Kazura onsen hotel and @Hikyo no yu) with discount price. Place is located very close to Kazura bridge.

This is an extremely comfortable hotel with excellent facilities. The room was very well laid out and a good size, it had everything we needed. The breakfast was superb and the library with tea/coffee available as required was an additional bonus. The location is central and very close to transport and the centre.

Super comfortable hotel! Small room but everything is well laid out and thought through making it convenient and comfortable despite the space. Super clean hotel. The staff there is the friendliest i’ve met in Japan, coin laundry is easy to operate and there is a ladies only laundry room, all monitor-able from the comfort of your room from the tv screen. Coffee available at the lobby, Family Mart just downstairs and many restaurants and the hotel is right on the shopping street where the Sunday Market is too. My mum and i absolutely enjoyed our stay for 5 days here.

Onsen on the top floor. Also how exceptionnelly kind and helpfull the staff were in aiding me with a package of a lost jacket I was waiting for.

The hotel is perfectly located near some of the most important landmarks of Matsuyama. Also, it has a magnificent view towards the city. In short, the view was magnificent, the beds were exceptionally well, the room clean, the service on point. The transportation is really convenient to get to the hotel and to travel to other places in the city. The spa and sauna also propose a gorgeous view towards the city. In all, I highly recommend this hotel if you want to visit Matsuyama or the prefecture of Ehime.

    Staff were exceptional. Rental car wouldn’t work so we had to call the rental car company. We asked a bilingual staff member to initiate the call for us. She did. During a 30 min call with AVIS, she stayed nearby us to assist if needed. Then when the repair van finally came, she stayed with us in the parking lot for 40 minutes to act as translator. She went above and beyond her job. Thank you so much!

    Sakaide Grand Hotel is a large hotel near the harbour area of Sakaide. The hotel - as well as most of Sakaide itself - has a bit of Showa-romance felling. The rooms are largend the breakfast is great! There is a public bath on the third floor, but upon arriving you may be given a ticket for the nearby large public bath, where most of the towns people seem to go in the evening.

    The presentation of the property was immaculate. The room and furnishings were spotless, the onsen and sky bar were very special. The kaiseki meals served were exceptional and a credit to the chef's skill and creativity. Ehime cuisine and local ingredients were front and centre. Highly recommended. The property is also literally adjacent to the Dogo Onsen. Fantastic location.

    It is absolutely beautiful, we stayed in a western style room and it's absolutely huge! It also had an amazing view of the mountain behind. We didn't bother using the onsen as we have tattoos but we walked around the hotel and it's so beautiful with many art pieces and sculptures. The breakfast buffet was also very delicious and the dining hall was beautiful.

Maki made a lovely breakfast and we ate a delicious meal on our second evening there. You need to book the meal in advance. This is a lovely place for a rest..

Staff gracefully allowed me to stow my luggage, and the breakfast buffet was impressive. Very close to the tram line that will take you to the train stations or Dogo Onsen. Many restaurants nearby as well.

    Matsuyama is a city with a lot to offer. From the stunning views from Matsuyama castle, to the history of Dogo Onsen. It has many hidden gems in the form of cafes, traditional craft and cultural experiences and is a good jumping off point to see the rest of Ehime/Shikoku.

    Perfect size city , all the mod cons without the mad cap rat race of Tokyo or Osaka. Excellent amount of restaurants and food outlets with a great food hall at the bottom of the main shopping area. Close to the ocean and mountains with out door pursuits like hiking and white water rafting a short train ride up the valley .

    Tokushima is a nice and vibrant city, that gets the most of its hype during the great Awa Odori Matsuri, held in mid August. If the temperatures are too hot for you, you can still see Awa Odori performances all year around. From Tokushima is also easy to reach Naruto, with its famous whirlpools.

    A small town set in a valley surrounded by steep forested mountains and a majestic river Gateway to Iya Valley and other stunning sights. No shortage of top class food options and bars (particularly Casual Bar for great fun and karaoke and Cafe Addcolor). And the locals are some of the very nicest and generous people I have met. Can easily spend days just walking around the town and hidden laneways to shrines and spectacular scenery. I will definitely come back.

    Takamatsu is a regional town on Shikoku Island in Japan.

    Takamatsu is a regional town on Shikoku Island in Japan. It is quite relaxed and has everything that you may look for in big cities. Shikoku Island is one of the main 4 Islands of Japan. It is good to reach by train, bus and even by airplane. It has an old history and boasts of many traditional handicrafts, regional specialties (such as udon noodles), etc. Always worth a visit - even if it is in the rainy season.

    The Best part about Matsuyama was where we stayed.

    The Best part about Matsuyama was where we stayed. It was Ryokan Kominka Mitsuhama, and it was detailed by a true artist. You have 2 floors of space with the bedroom upstairs and a large living room downstairs. The living room is surrounded by 2 different mature and well lit Japanese gardens. One had many Koi swimming in the ponds. So lovely! It was in a quiet, low key neighborhood but just 2 blocks to the river and near a little working fisherman's bay. The boats were squid fisherman with lights strung on them because they fish at night with the lights to attract the squid. There were plenty of small local restaurants and bakeries. It was a respite from tourist crowds and off the beaten path.
