Jyosai-kan

An observation open-air bath on the top floor with panoramic views of Kochi Castle town. Relax with a full-scale sauna equipped with auto-löyly and the traditions of a long-established ryokan

Kochi Kochi City

"Jyosai-kan" is a historic ryokan in Kochi that has been in operation since 1874. From the observation open-air bath on the top floor, guests can take in sweeping views of the Kagami River, where it is said Sakamoto Ryoma once swam, as well as Kochi Castle town and the surrounding mountains, and enjoy a liberating bathing experience. In 2024, a full-scale Finnish-style sauna with an auto-löyly feature was newly added to the large public bath, blending the charm of this long-established inn with the latest sauna experience. After bathing, guests can unwind with a luxurious moment over yuzu tea at Yubagari Chaya Shiromi Yagura, a bathing lounge with views of illuminated Kochi Castle. Known as an inn favored by the Imperial Family, this is a property distinguished by its refined hospitality.

The cold plunge bath located right next to the sauna is supplied with constantly flowing water, so you can immerse yourself in fresh, clean water at all times. The water temperature is cool but not too cold, making it easy for beginners to enter. It gently wraps around a body heated by the sauna and helps you cool down slowly. Though compact, the tub offers a pleasantly refreshing touch that leads naturally to the open-air bathing area afterward. Combined with open-air cooling under the Kochi sky, it guides you to a blissful state of totonou.
