Located in Ashizuri hos spring resort, the south edge of the Shikoku island. Please enjoy the panoramic view of the Pacific ocean and fresh seafood dishes including Ise Lobster from the Ashizuri coast.
This was one of the best places we have ever stayed at! The nickname for this establishment is Mana Village Pacific Hotel. ”Mana” has three meanings, of course it means heavenly food (yes, it was!) and in the Hawaiian language ”magical” (yes the view from the accomdations, and the rooms themselves were just that!) but it is also the local (Kochi prefecture) word for ”a lot” or ”awesome”. That pretty much describes this hotel. If you don't mind a short walk down a covered walkway, you can get to one of the most beautiful outdoor baths in Japan, overlooking the Pacific ocean. And in the restaurant you can get surf (first time I ever had lobster in Japan!) turf, and most importantly a variety of exotic fish served up local style. Most important is the location, which is on the extreme south-west tip of the island of Shikoku, a sort of peninsula jutting into the ocean. I wont spoil the adventure you will have if you come to Ashizuri, which is a kind of geo-park combining ancient history with luxurious fauna in a transitional tropical/temprate zone. If you go there, this is the place to stay!
Great traditional Japanese hotel. The dinner they served was fantastic, probably the best meal I’ve experienced on Shikoku. The people at the hotel could not have been nicer or more helpful. A wonderful place!
