Best Hotels near Shizutani Shrine, Bizen

This was maybe the only major chain hotel in Ako at this time. The staff went out of their way to accommodate me and my only drawback I found was the lack of amenities. Ako for me was a must so this was the only real choice I had; now the real big plus is that it is attached to this small train station creating a possible future anchor spot in town.

The beautiful Seto Inland Sea spreads out in front of you when you enter the entrance! The view from the room with Hiro 々 can also see the beautiful sea and the dotted island 々. The facilities in the room are perfect because the bath and toilet are separated. The food was delicious, but the breakfast steak was great. (Good quality beef) You can also drive to the olive garden in a few minutes.

　I almost missed breakfast on Sunday morning. At the time of check-in, you can see the photo and it is a set menu, so only the explanation is that you can choose from these 5 types on the day. Understand that it is ”set menu only”. Even though it is a business hotel in front of the station, Sunday starts at 7 o'clock 30 minutes later than weekdays. It seems to be entrusted to the tavern on the same floor as the front desk, and even if it is explained, the location is not clear, and it cannot be seen from the front desk. When I left the hotel at 7:30 and headed for the store, there was a person in the chair in front of me. However, there is no tag saying that you are waiting, so when you say breakfast in the store, you will say, ”Please wait in front.” When you try to write the name, there is no such thing. However, it seems that you should sit in the corridor and wait until the order comes. I heard that I took out, but I didn't. I have to leave for work, but this will miss eating breakfast ... When I returned to the front desk and explained the situation to the hotel staff, the hotel did not know the situation at all. I'll go to the breakfast shop together and listen to the situation. Finally, the first people started to leave, and luckily, the previous people were all group guests, so I sat at about 8:45. When I entered, the set was only the main, and a little buffet was added. Moreover, it is understood that only up to 8 people (groups) can enter the store in the form of a private room izakaya. With this, there is a great possibility that I couldn't enter the store even if I waited forever, and I think it is disqualified as breakfast at a business hotel. Don't throw the hotel round, understand what the situation is and improve it.

We used it for business. The front desk was empty around ２１ when we arrived. It is a little difficult to understand the entrance, but you will go up to ２ floor by elevator. (The entrance is closed at ２４, and then a card key is required) The elevator will always stop once on the ２ floor when you go up or down. Room clothes are not prepared in the room, so they are taken out of the locker equipped near the front desk. The room was highly confidential and the noise outside was blocked. There was also a humidifier, so there seems to be no worry about drying.

This hotel is set in a great location of Okayama, close to the shoutengai, Okayama castle and the JR station with lots of choice for food close by. Staff friendly and helpful. Would not recommend to use their car park or listen to the hotels advice on parking, we were quoted 2700¥ for a nights parking, when we took a look in the area we found parking for 900¥ for 24 hours. Room very nice if a little dated, lack of public ofuro was a little sad but what else to expect at this price. Bathroom a little small, but definitely ok again for the price. No breakfast offered or provided, so can’t really give any advice on this. However there is an amazing cafe around the corner that sells freshly made croissants 🥐 

Is right at night spot area about 7-10 minutes walk from the JR station. Good for people wish to stay late. Front desk staffs are nice and helpful. Can’t ask for more for this price. A definite choice for limited budget guest. Even with a bath tub 👍

I used it on my first trip with a 6 month child. I chose this inn because I satisfies two points of the room meal (dinner) that I can have a bath. When I stayed, I was very satisfied with the response more than I thought. First of all, when I checked in, I lent a bucket for omelette and a baby soap (a futon like a nap futon) without asking me from here. Also, when I went to the rental bath, I pulled a bath towel to sleep my child in the dressing room, and I also borrowed a baby bus and a bath chair for free. I was impressed by the response before asking for any. The facilities in the building are also substantial. Where you can drink free, there were many children's spaces (there were many toys!!) The bath is very beautiful! The public bath is also pleasant... The employee's response is good, the color 々 it was a trip with the baby who was worried, but it was a fun and good memory.

An excellent hotel with hotspring and beautiful scenery. You can enjoy the hotspring with the sea view. I have seen the sunrise and sunset in the hotspring, it is very very remarkable. Staff are very friendly and helpful, they will help you to set up tatami when you went for the dinner. Everything is so decent and wonderful. Highly recommend people to discover this hidden gem in Hyogo.

We used it for event participation at Okayama Convention Center. It is directly connected to Okayama Station and it is very easy to move. It is also convenient to Okayama Convention Center. I think it depends on the location of the room, but the room I stayed this time was able to see the platform of Okayama Station from the room, so I think that is also attractive for those who like trains. There are many restaurants in the station building of Okayama Station and there is no inconvenience in eating. It is a very recommended hotel for those who have a business at the Convention Center since early morning at Okayama Station late at night.
