3-Star Hotels in Okayama Prefecture, Japan

Might be the worst hotel i've been to in Japan in terms of cleanliness and soundproofing (latter is actually non existent - you'll hear people talking and watching TV) - but the price was close to being free and location is extremely convenient. I won't chose this hotel next time, but if you sleep well and need a place to crush for a night - it's ok

The location is superb, very close to the station! Right outside, there's a large supermarket just down a small path. It's also very close to the Bikan Historical Quarter, and there's a popular tonkatsu restaurant nearby that always has a long queue. The room was small, actually the smallest of the five hotels I booked on this trip. The shower came with a bathtub, and the drain was a bit clogged. I left something behind at the hotel, and they kindly helped send it to my next hotel. Many thanks!

Located in the Kurashiki Bikan area, it's less than a 3-minute walk to a convenience store. It's a 10-minute walk from the station. Meals are served in the morning and evening; dinner offers a choice of two options, and there's also a bath.

I needed accommodation on short notice and used this hotel, and I was impressed by its excellent cost performance. The ample parking is a great advantage for those traveling by car. The free breakfast, while commensurate with the price, was very convenient. Also, the late check-in time was reassuring, as it allowed for flexibility in my schedule. While the building shows some signs of age, it's clean and well-maintained, and I didn't feel uncomfortable. I think this is a good option for anyone looking for affordable accommodation in Kurashiki.

The hotel is a bit of a walk from Kurashiki Station, and navigating the cobblestone paths through the scenic area can be quite tiring with luggage. On our return, we had the hotel arrange a taxi, which cost 1200 JPY. The hotel grounds are beautiful, and its location right in the Bikan Historical Quarter makes shopping incredibly convenient. Rooms are clean and quite modern. Just be aware that if you select the 'Do Not Disturb' option, towels will not be replaced. The breakfast restaurant offers an elegant setting, primarily serving Japanese cuisine, and you can even take coffee to go after your meal. Overall, it's a very high-quality hotel.

Used for a business trip to Okayama. I rented a car from Okayama Airport, so I chose Toyoko Inn as a hotel with a parking lot. However, because the height of the rental car was over 155cm, I parked at the affiliated ”Marugo Parking Lot” (affiliated price 600 yen from 18:00 to 10:00 the next day). The hotel is within a 5-minute walk from Kurashiki Station, so it's not a problem to travel by train. There is a convenience store next door, and Kurashiki Center Town is behind it, so there are no problems with eating or shopping. Only a toothbrush set is provided in the room, and other amenities are located in front of the front desk on the first floor. The room is a typical business hotel, but personally I thought the bed was the best (hard). The only drawback is that the breakfast venue is right in front of the front desk, and there are few seats. In anticipation of this, in addition to the plates, there are plastic trays for lunch boxes so that you can take them back to your room. They also served Okayama's specialty ”Ebimeshi”, which was very satisfying. The ladies at the front desk were very kind and helpful, so I would like to stay here again.

Facilities: The room was quite spacious; we could lay down two 30-inch suitcases flat, and there was plenty of room for a 24-inch one on the luggage rack. On our floor, there was a microwave, disposable chopsticks, and an ice machine. The shower had great water pressure, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. It was fully equipped, and the toiletries were POLA. Hygiene: Overall, it was quite clean, though there was a bit of dust on the windowsill, probably because it was hidden by the table and curtains. Environment: The location is very convenient. There's a Matsumoto Kiyoshi downstairs and a Lawson directly across the street. Kani Doraku is also very close, and it's only a 10-minute walk to the Shinkansen. Service: Excellent. The front desk provided complimentary amenities and consumables.

The nearest station is Tokiwa Station on the Mizushima Rinkai Railway. It's conveniently located, just a two-minute walk from the station. The hotel overall was very clean, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner options were plentiful. They were delicious!! The large public bath can fit six or seven people at a time. When I used it, there was no one there, so I was able to soak in the tub without any problems. During the day, you can shop at the nearby supermarket. The nearest convenience store is a little far away. There are many delicious restaurants, so you'll have no trouble finding something to eat.

今回で2回目の利用ですが、ホテルの部屋などやや古い感はあるも、清潔に保たれていて気持ち良く利用できました。料金がリーズナブルなのが決め手だったのですが、フロントの受付スタッフの対応が丁寧だったのと、朝食がおかずが多くしかもとても美味しかったので得したようでした。また利用したいです。

Location: Excellent! It's super convenient – just exit the west gate of the train station, cross the road, and go through a passage. There are tons of food options nearby; a bustling snack street is right across the road. Shopping is incredibly convenient too, not to mention the mall attached to the station itself. You've got Matsumoto Kiyoshi downstairs, Don Quijote across the street, and Takashimaya. Facilities: The onsen (hot springs) alternate between male and female baths daily. One bath has an outdoor pool, while the other doesn't, but overall, the experience is still great. Service: Each day, you get a complimentary drink or alcoholic beverage at the front desk.
