Toyoko Inn Kochi
Chain reliability with EV charging, 16 minutes from the station
About this stay
Toyoko Inn's nationwide formula shows up here in full: a compact but efficient room with a work desk, bidet and both bath and shower, plus a buffet breakfast included as standard rather than an add-on. The 16-minute walk to Kōchi Station is longer than most business hotels on this list, which suits guests arriving by car more than by train, and the electric vehicle charging station backs that up directly. Paid on-site private parking removes any guesswork about where to leave a rental car overnight. That EV-charging detail alone tends to decide the booking for drivers doing a Shikoku loop, since few comparably priced hotels in central Kochi offer it alongside a full buffet breakfast.

Our take
Business travellers and couples driving an EV or hybrid rental around Shikoku get the most out of this one, thanks to the charging station and on-site parking. The predictable Toyoko Inn room layout is a plus for repeat business travellers. Anyone relying purely on train connections should weigh the 16-minute walk against closer alternatives near the station.
- Book the EV charging slot in advance if driving a rental car around Shikoku.
- Budget the 16-minute walk into your schedule if arriving by train with luggage.
- Eat the included buffet breakfast, it is better value than finding a nearby cafe.

Why guests love itBusiness travellers who drive an EV rental around Shikoku point to the charging station as the deciding factor over a similarly priced chain hotel closer to the station. The included buffet breakfast and the reliable Toyoko Inn room layout make the 16-minute walk from Kōchi Station an easy trade-off for anyone not relying on the train. The EV charging station settles the choice quickly for anyone driving a rental car around Shikoku, and the included buffet breakfast beats searching for a nearby cafe before an early departure.
