Founded in 1627 as a hatago on the approach to Kotohira-gu.
Kotohira Kadan is a ryokan in Kotohira, Kagawa, at the foot of the Kotohira-gu (Konpira) shrine woods, about 15 minutes on foot or a short free shuttle ride from the Kotohira stations. Rooms range from sukiya-style detached villas set in the garden, such as the 152 m2 Choseiden for up to 7 guests, to rooms with private open-air baths that use Kotohira-cho Chikoin hot spring water. The hot spring large bath, Kisshō no Yu, is open 13:00-24:00 and 5:00-10:00. Meals are served in the main dining room Keyaki, a private room or banquet room, or in-room for the Choseiden and Enjukaku villas and the Fujimidai rooms with private open-air baths. The inn lends baby items such as a baby bath and bouncer and offers children's meals.
