Overview
Hotel Avest Kochi sits in the center of Kochi city, a 3-minute walk from the Harimayabashi tram stop. It has 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms where you can take off your shoes and relax. Breakfast is a handmade onigiri (rice ball) set built around ingredients from Kochi Prefecture, and food allergies can be accommodated if you let the hotel know in advance.

Rooms
There are 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms where you can take off your shoes and relax. They come with a bathroom and toilet, and guests sleep on futon bedding rather than beds. Please note that the Japanese-style tatami rooms do not come with children's futons or amenities, so if you need them, include the child in the number of adults when booking. The Western-style rooms are 12-15 sq m, and every one of them has a 120 cm-wide semi-double bed.
Dining
Breakfast is served in front of the first-floor lobby: a handmade onigiri (rice ball) set made with Niida rice from Shimanto-cho in Kochi Prefecture and whitebait from Kochi Prefecture. The set includes 2 onigiri, miso soup with aosa seaweed from Kochi Prefecture, and a side dish. If anyone in your party has a food allergy, the kitchen can accommodate it when you let the hotel know in advance. For dinner, you can also choose a plan that includes a meal at Sushi Yanagi, a long-established sushi restaurant a 1-minute walk from the hotel.
