Some hotels and accommodation in Kashiwa Island, Kochi Prefecture. There aren’t many hotels on this island, but if you want to visit, it’s best to stay overnight instead of going on a day trip!
Kashiwa Island Area
柏島
There are a few old-fashioned minshuku and ryokan in Kashiwa Island. However, most inns do not support foreign languages, let alone online booking. Currently, there are only two ways to contact inns on the Internet: one online booking and one contact through Dive in Japan.
Also, since most of the inns are linked to dive shops, it may be difficult to stay only overnight. It is recommended that you stay at a hotel in the Sukumo or Otsuki area and ask them to arrange a tour to kashiwa-jima or rent a car for you. If you really want to stay in the Kashiwajima area, if you have a friend or family member who speaks Japanese, try contacting the inn directly.
