Overview
Akisawa Hotel is about a 15-minute walk from Sukumo Station in Sukumo, Kochi, and makes a practical base for visiting Cape Ashizuri, the Shimanto River and Kashiwajima. The dining room Saisai serves an evening meal built around fresh local seafood along with a Japanese breakfast, and elementary school children and children who have not yet started elementary school can have a kids' meal for dinner, provided the hotel is contacted by the day before. Rooms include non-smoking rooms with Simmons beds, as well as roomier rooms that pair two beds with a 6-tatami Japanese-style tatami area, so families can be accommodated. Free parking is available for 50 cars.
Rooms
The non-smoking single, double and twin Reiwa Open Rooms use beds from the well-known Simmons brand, measuring 140 cm by 200 cm, and they have a roomy en-suite bathroom as well. In the non-smoking twin rooms, the beds can be pushed together to use the room as a Hollywood twin. There is also a room with two beds (about 110 cm) plus a 6-tatami Japanese-style tatami area, where three sets of futon bedding can be used, making it easy to adjust the bedding to the size of your group. The Economy Twin Room is reached by going up stairs; it has a bath and toilet, but the toilet does not have a bidet seat. Every room has a bath and toilet, heating and air conditioning, satellite TV, a refrigerator, a hair dryer and an electric kettle, and the non-smoking rooms also have an air purifier.
Dining
At the dining room Saisai, you can take your time over an evening meal made with fresh seafood landed locally in Sukumo. At both breakfast and dinner the white rice is served in an ohitsu (a wooden rice tub), so you can help yourself to as many refills as you like. There are counter seats as well, which are handy when dining alone. Elementary school children and children who have not yet started elementary school who are booked for meals only can choose whether their dinner is the same as the adults' or a kids' meal, but the hotel needs to be told by the day before. If you would like a child to have the same dishes as the adults, that child has to be booked as an adult.
Baths
As a measure to avoid the Three Cs (closed, crowded and close-contact settings), the communal bath is closed for the time being. Please check in advance if you are planning to use it.
