Hotel Bokaiso

The view from outside the hotel is unmatched. We enjoyed it both at night and for sunrise the next morning. The drive itself up and down the mountain is amazing as well. The sightseeing really makes this hotel worth it. We stayed in a family room because it was the last room available, so it was comfortable enough but I imagine the normal rooms are much better. Tip: bring snacks/food before you go up the mountain, there's nothing once you get up there. There's also apparently wild boars roaming so be careful at night.

I didn't realize that the hotel is inside a national park and you need to pass a parking gate to get to it, and that's why they say check in is until 9pm. They messaged us early in the day to explain the parking situation, but I wish they had mentioned the importance of the check-in deadline. We arrived about an hour past the time, but the staff kindly still came to manually open the gate and let us in, we really appreciated their kindness.

superb scenic location better than expectation，staff/owner was very friend and speak fluent English, bed was very comply, the bed heater was a bonus in winter stay, driving is recommended, the location is tricky to find, best to ask for direction from hotel beforehand, limited parking was available at front, there is a charge for parking but be sure to take it otherwise need to walk a distance from the nearby parking lot

don't bring large luggage since there is no elevator, fortunately only need to walk up only one floor

Huge, super spacious room with a sunset view of the beautiful seto inland sea - exceptional. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Parking is 800yen a night. Breakfast option was two tasty rice balls. The room was clean and quiet, and the beds, pillows and comforters were super comfortable - we didn’t want to leave!

There was only one free plug point available, and it was in the bathroom. All the plugs in the rooms were used by lamps, tv etc., which we had to unplug to charge our stuff. So small thing, but a bit annoying. Also, not a negative on the hotel or our stay, but we didn’t realise the hotel was located inside of something like a nature reserve with an aquarium etc., so we were just initially confused to come up on a large parking lot on the mountain after following google maps; but pretty easy to figure it out.

The location was great with an amazing view.

It seems no staff was on site at night if help was needed.

Incredible views and the staff were so helpful and lovely

nothing

Staff are brilliant.

No food.

The environment is peaceful and good for child nature walk and the room is spacious

- bed not so comfortable - breakfast choice very limited - no water in the room - shower room is transparent so not good for family

Big room, excellent and unique view over the port of Takamatsu

No elevator in the hotel. Breakfast was onigiri or protein bar. Buses to and from drove only until 5 pm.

Excellent view

Should give more information how to drive the car to hotel. It is difficult to find the driveway to the hotel in the mountain parking lot.

Stunning view upon Takamatsu, room was big and comfy. It was fun to walk around at the top of the mountain in the morning with a few temples.

Breakfast was a joke, a choice between two onigiri or an energy bar and we weren't warned beforehand. Considering the isn't any place to shop for food around, that cafes open at 11am and the first shuttle bus is at 10am... Not great. We were lucky we had snacks. Dinner bot possible either when asked on the day. Location is difficult but we knew that. We got a taxi from Yashima station, it was 1600 yen, the driver knew where to go so it was ok.
