I stayed at the Mitsui Garden Hotel Okayama twice, and went to Hiroshima to see the Seto Inland Sea in between. The hotel is in a good location. Take the Okayama Airport Bus to the West Exit of Okayama JR Station (Platform 21, the end), take the elevator, walk to the East Exit through the JR Station passage, turn right, and cross the road behind a tall building. The hotel is surrounded by prosperous businesses, including Takashimaya, AEON Shopping Center, Don Quijote, etc., as well as large shopping malls, Yours supermarkets, drug stores, etc. in the JR station, and a large underground street (which is enough for shopping and eating). It is also very convenient to go to scenic spots: Korakuen and Okayama Castle are just at the JR station square entrance. Take the bus or tram opposite; you can buy tickets from the self-service machine in the JR station to Kurashiki (Sanyo Line or Hakubi Line), Kibitsu Shrine and Kibitsuhiko Shrine (Momotaro Line), and Tsuyama (Tsuyama Line, it is recommended to choose the orange-marked express train). The hotel service is very good, but because it has been open for many years, the hardware is unsatisfactory: the cabinet doors are not easy to close, the curtains will fall off a corner, and the toilet has a peculiar smell. Another strange thing is that there is no quilt cover, but a sheet to separate the quilt, which is not very familiar. I didn't have breakfast at the hotel. It happened that the breakfast price increased from 1650 yen to 1980 yen a few days ago. The big mall and supermarket in the station to buy milk, bread, cake or salad, sushi, etc. It feels very satisfying. The airport bus to Okayama Airport also takes place at Platform 21 of the west exit of the JR station. The above is for reference for friends who travel independently.
