Ino is overflowing with charming areas, such as the river area where the clear Niyodo River runs, the mountain area where you’ll find the Shikoku Mountains stretching from Mt. Ishizuchi, the highest peak in western Japan and the gorgeous scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, and the paper area, which is the birthplace of Tosa Japanese paper, a tradition that has been carried on since the Meiji era. The area around the hotel features various activities such as canoeing and the recently popular marine sport of standup paddleboarding (SUP), as well as Tosa Japanese paper making workshops, making it the perfect location for making memories of a trip to Kochi. The hotel also offers convenient access to downtown Kochi, which is dotted with sightseeing spots such as Katsurahama Beach where the statue of SakamotoRyoma stands, and Kochi Castle built by Kazutoyo Yamauchi, the first lord of the Tosa Domain.

When visiting Kochi, make sure to stop by the street market, a spot with over 300 years of history as part of the daily life of the locals. The biggest market of all is the Sunday Market, held every week. Nearly 300 shops, mainly run by suburban farmers, line Otesuji street which stretches for nearly one kilometer to the east from the Otemon Gate of Kochi Castle. Many people from inside and outside Kochi visit to buy fresh vegetables and fruits as well as dry goods, potted plants, daily necessities, secondhand items, etc.

This is the perfect hotel for a trip to charming Kochi and all it has to offer.
