🏨 Kotohira Grand Sakurazaka Hotel

Kongō Grand Hotel Sakura no Shō is a hotel located near the approach to Kōdō Shrine, making it an excellent base for sightseeing in Kōbe Town. Upon arriving at the hotel, it is recommended to first enjoy the hot springs. In the open-air hot spring with a view of Kōbira Mountain, guests can relax and heal the fatigue from visiting Kōdō Shrine while admiring the beautiful scenery of the four seasons. The women's exclusive open-air hot spring features the "Hanaburo," which is filled with rose petals. This rose bath, exuding an elegant floral fragrance and a warm touch of nature, offers an ultimate luxurious bathing experience. The "Hanaburo" is available every evening and is very popular. Additionally, facilities such as saunas are available for guests to enjoy. The hotel offers different types of guest rooms. Among them, the "Hatsune Premium" is a Japanese-Western style room that combines both styles and includes an open-air hot spring. There are also standard Japanese-Western style rooms, allowing travelers to choose according to their preferences. The open kitchen "Ikiri" (Japanese: ゐきり), themed around Kōbira Kabuki, is quite eye-catching, allowing guests to enjoy delicious food while watching chefs showcase their culinary skills on the "stage" (kitchen). In addition to traditional kaiseki cuisine using seasonal ingredients, the hotel also offers a new concept of creative kaiseki that blends Eastern and Western elements (in summer, a buffet featuring Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes may be available).

The hotel offers a variety of room types, including the Japanese-Western style room "Hatsune Premium" with an outdoor hot spring. The attractive hot spring facilities are perfect for relaxing after visiting Koto Shrine. Among them, the women-only outdoor hot spring "Kafuro" is a proud feature of the hotel. Dinner features a creative kaiseki cuisine that blends Eastern and Western elements.
