"The KAMENOI HOTEL KOCHI
亀の井ホテル 高知 at 1569 Hakawa, Ino, Agawa District, Kochi 781-2128 is worth ten times what you pay for it. I assume that the complimentary breakfast was worth about $25, the complimentary onsen was worth $100, the complimentary dinner was worth about $50, I drink rarely and very little but I guess the free sake tasting was worth about $15, and the complimentary tantanmen ramen (I have 100 km of pedaling soon and feel like a sumo due to all the good food so pleaded for a half serving to avoid wasting food) even a half bowl at my request is about a $15 value, and the customer service is beyond belief.
Adding up the information:
Missed by me because I arrived late, and mentally and physically exhausted after my 18 hours pedaling from Kaiyoo around Cape Muroto through Kochi (got lost a lot) into Ino Town...but available to you when you check in at 3 PM:
$100 onsen
$50 dinner
$15 sake
$15 tantanmen ramen
I had:
$25 breakfast
$100 onsen
$50 dinner
$15 sake
$15 tantanmen ramen
$100 onsen
$25 breakfast
That's $510 estimated in amenities, not including the comfortable bed on the 9th floor with a beautiful view of the Niyodo River and Ino Town, fantastic customer service, and the most full immersion Japanese language experience I've ever had (nobody wanted to speak English, and I enjoyed speaking the Japanese language even though my fluency is poor) in my life.
I paid $356 for two nights of recovery for my rest day cycling the Shikoku Circuit Bicycle Route."
