Refined Ryokan Reflecting Tosa History and Climate
Located in central Kochi City, "Joseikan" is a long-established ryokan about a 1-minute walk from the Tosaden Kotsu Kamimachi 1-chome stop. Guest rooms blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern design, creating a calm setting with the scent of tatami. The top-floor open-air bath and large public bath offer views over the Kochi castle town below. From the post-bath lounge "Shiromi Yagura," the illuminated Kochi Castle can be seen, adding to the atmosphere. Access to "Hirome Market," known for its local food offerings, is also convenient.

Guest Room

Guestroom Area "Tensei" Offering Diverse Room Types

The guest room area "Tensei," fully renovated in April 2019, offers a variety of accommodations including Japanese-modern twin rooms. The approximately 10-tatami Japanese-style rooms provide a setting where the warmth of wood and the texture of tatami create a calm space for rest.

Twin Room Styled with a Modern Japanese Interior

Two types of twin rooms are available: the "Japanese-modern twin room," which blends refined contemporary elements with traditional Japanese design, and the "Japanese-modern Hollywood twin room," which offers a sense of openness and a relaxed atmosphere characteristic of Japanese-style spaces.

Barrier Free Special Room with Full Flat Floor Design

The room features flooring designed for smooth wheelchair movement, with bathrooms and toilets arranged for ease of use. In the main tatami area, high-seating chairs and a table are provided, reflecting thoughtful design elements that help reduce physical strain.

"Senju" Floor Structured for Unhurried Time Indoors

A selection of guest rooms offers comfortable layouts, including approximately 10-tatami Japanese-style rooms and Western-style twin rooms. Set within a calm Japanese atmosphere, the rooms overlook the scenic Kochi castle town, an area shaped by its historical past.

Spa

Observation Open Air Bath Overlooking Town and Mountains

The top-floor open-air bath offers views over the Kochi castle town and surrounding mountains while bathing. Both the men's bath "Igosso no Yu" and the women's bath "Hachikin no Yu" are equipped with saunas, where loylyu-style steam can be experienced.

After Bath Lounge "Shiromiyagura" for Quiet Breaks

A relaxation space is available for use after bathing. A moment spent with the house-made "yuzu tea" offers a refreshing pause. Views of Kochi Castle illuminated at night create a calm setting, adding to the atmosphere away from everyday routines.

Restaurant&bar

Seasonal Cuisine Featuring Ingredients from Each Season

A wide range of cuisine is offered, from traditional Japanese dishes such as Tosa-style "sawachi platters" and colorful kaiseki meals to full-course Western dining. The menu features a variety of styles, with each dish prepared with care.

"Sawachi Ryori" Showcasing Tosa’s Unique Dining Style

Tosa-style "sawachi cuisine," a regional dining style, features generous arrangements of seasonal ingredients from both the sea and mountains—such as sashimi, seared bonito, and sushi—served on large Arita ware platters. The presentation reflects a sense of abundance, with each dish prepared to showcase variety and scale.

Breakfast Buffet Offering a Full Range of Local Flavors

A buffet-style dining experience features regional dishes made with ingredients from Kochi. An open kitchen allows dishes to be prepared in view, adding a sense of immediacy to the setting. The menu changes by day of the week, offering variety for consecutive stays.

Seared Bonito Prepared Over "Straw Fired Flames"

Seared bonito, a specialty of the Tosa region, is featured in dinner and banquet course menus. Prepared using the traditional "straw-firing" method, the technique highlights freshness and imparts a distinctive aroma. Demonstrations of the dynamic straw-grilling process can also be viewed.

Cuisine Supported by Ingredients Sourced in Kochi

At "Joseikan," the head chef visits producers across Kochi Prefecture to source ingredients directly, using them to create dishes that reflect the flavors of each season. This close connection with the region shapes a dining experience rooted in local character.
