Eat well
as a group.
Groups have more ways to make mealtimes easy.
You can choose from all the same meal options available to individual guests, including our free breakfast, BBQ, nabe, a pizza experience, the shared kitchen, or a visit to the Blue Brew taproom when they’re open.
But with a group, we can do more. We can arrange catering from local restaurants or have our staff prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner for you. These additional meal services are arranged to suit your group and are priced separately.
Just tell us what you have in mind when you send your group inquiry. We’ll help you work out the meals, timing, and cost as part of planning your stay.
You get to Kochi.
We can help with the rest.
For groups, we can help arrange a private charter bus tailored to your itinerary. Your group may also arrange its own transportation.
Pickup and drop-off from Kochi Airport can be requested. Ask us about travel between Shimonanosato and other destinations, transport for activities and excursions, and return transportation.
When arranged for your itinerary, transport may include:
- Kochi Airport pickup and drop-off (on request)
- Travel between Shimonanosato and other destinations
- Transport for group activities and excursions
- Return transportation
Transportation is quoted separately according to your group’s requirements. It is not automatically included in accommodation and may be included in a customized group package.
Let us host your
event!
A performance, a celebration, a reunion, or something entirely your own. Our gym, playground, and shared spaces can become the setting for the gathering you have in mind.
LET'S BUILD
YOUR GROUP STAY.
Tell us about your group and what you'd like to do. This is an inquiry, not a confirmed booking. We'll review your plans, accommodation needs, dates, and activities, then contact you to discuss what is available and prepare a quote. Unusually large group arrangements are discussed individually by email or phone.
