About this stay

Arriving at Hotel Bokaiso means a scenic journey up Yashima mountain, a 25-minute drive from Takamatsu Station. For those arriving earlier in the day, a shuttle bus from Yashima Station can take you to the mountain top, followed by a 400-meter walk to the hotel. Once settled, the hotel's prime location on a cliff edge provides striking, unobstructed views of the Seto Inland Sea and the twinkling lights of Takamatsu city below. Rooms are designed for comfort, each equipped with air conditioning, an electric kettle, refrigerator, and essential amenities like towels and room wear. During colder months, electric blankets ensure a cozy stay, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

  • Yashima mountain top location
  • Panoramic ocean and city views
  • Free WiFi
  • Air-conditioned rooms

Our take

Hotel Bokaiso is a distinctive pick for guests who want panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea and the lights of Takamatsu from Yashima mountain. Its cliff-edge setting offers ocean and mountain vistas, and the air-conditioned rooms have electric blankets and free WiFi. It is a 25-minute drive from Takamatsu Station, so it suits visitors with transport. Anyone wanting a central, walk-everywhere base will find it remote. For a scenic night above the city, I would recommend it.

  • Plan your arrival to take advantage of the Yashima shuttle bus if you prefer not to drive up the mountain.
  • Bring binoculars to fully appreciate the expansive views of the Seto Inland Sea and distant islands.
  • Consider packing snacks or drinks to enjoy in your room while watching the city lights at night.

Why we love it

  • Panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea

  • Quiet, scenic retreat for couples and families
Why guests love it

I would choose Hotel Bokaiso for a couple who wants a view more than a city location. It sits atop Yashima mountain with panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea and the lights of Takamatsu, from a cliff-edge position. It is a 25-minute drive from Takamatsu Station, so I would plan transport. Rooms are air-conditioned with electric blankets and free WiFi, which suits cooler evenings on the mountain.
