Shimanto no Yado

Shimanto no Yado is a resort hotel in Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture. You can enjoy a relaxing hot-spring tour with three types of baths: hot spring, medicinal bath, and a seawater open-air bath. Being able to soak again and again—morning, noon, and night—is part of the appeal. Day-use bathing is also available. Because it is on slightly elevated ground, you can enjoy a star-filled sky almost to yourself, and a nearby viewpoint within walking distance offers a beautiful sunrise. All rooms are surrounded by trees; from the windows you see nature, and you mainly hear natural sounds, making it deeply relaxing. Room types include Japanese-style, Western-style, loft rooms, and rooms with private open-air baths. The rooms are modern and clean. Meals feature refined Shimanto cuisine, and breakfast also offers elegant Tosa dishes. With both the Shimanto River and the sea nearby, this nature-based resort can become an unforgettable travel memory. Access is about a 15-minute drive from Nakamura Station. A pickup service from Nakamura Station is available by reservation only, so those who want to use it should book in advance.
