The hotel is elegant and the staff are overwhelmingly attentive. My room had a nice view over the city and up towards the mountains. The breakfast offered a huge variety of both Japanese and Western food, all beautifully prepared. It is on a tram line,

I didn’t realize how very far from the train station this was. I had to take a taxi, which I rarely do. There were very few choices of restaurants nearby. I found a little ramen shop about two blocks away, and when I returned to the hotel, the streets were almost deserted. I had no choice of room type, possibly because I booked only one day before. I was given a tatami mat room, which was beautiful, but uncomfortable for me. The kettle is unlike any I have ever seen, and I couldn’t figure out how to dispense the hot water, in spite of using my phone to translate the words on the buttons.

We LOVED our stay at Jyoseikan. My husband and I were traveling with two toddlers and an infant and Jyoseikan is VERY family friendly. They even have a toddler play area in the lobby. The staff at Jyoseikan were accommodating, professional, and enthusiastic. I was especially impressed by the way that all of the staff spoke to and treated our toddlers - as if they were guests just as valued as the adult guests! We did the dinner service, and it was AMAZING. We were also traveling with two additional adult guests who did not care for Japanese cuisine, and the staff went out of their way to prepare western style meals for them. Everything was impeccably clean and efficient. We will absolutely return next time we are in Kochi.

Beautiful hotel in traditional Japanese style. We stayed in the Japanese style rooms with tatami mats to sleep on. Plenty of room and clean. Breakfast was fantastic. Close to tram and bus stops. Highly recommend the train trip from Okayama to Kochi.

We couldn't get into the onsite Restaurant as you need to book a few days in advance and there was no other restaurant available in the hotel for dinner.

It’s a traditional Japanese room with Tarmi floors. We had no idea what we were in for and the staff was accommodating and helpful in explaining how to navigate and understand traditions. The Onsen was amazing. Warning: no tattoos allowed in Onsen. The Breakfast was most excellent and was beyond our expectations. Overall amazing

Nothing! Was amazing

Good onsen with a nice view on the city Near the main shopping street Well decorated interior (room & hotel)

A bit far from the Kochi train station (about 30min walk) although you can take a tram that brings you close to it

Family room with futons was spacious for 2 people. Breakfast buffet was good. Close to transport. Good view of mountains and Kochi castle.

The staff were attentive and helpful. The food was superb. The location was perfectly situated near local transit, which made sightseeing easy.

excellent Ryokan with excellent food for breakfast and dinner. I love the japanese bath house on top. i really emjoyed.

Money for value. Easy access to every direction. Good onsen and staff friendly.

You can tell the age of the hotel, can be delightfully polished.

Good location on Harimayabashi Street, easy/fun tram ride to centre. Staff helpful in suggesting local restaurants. Traditional tatami style room, clean and comfortable.
