Mitsui Outlet Park Kurashiki

We stayed in Setouchi Keirin for one night on arriving from Kyoto, on our way for Naoshima where we stayed for one night. It is a good hotel, we had a room with views of the racing bike tracks and the sea, with a good sized balcony. It was a very good and helpful set up for those wanting to explore Naoshima and other islands in the area without having to stay in Naoshima. The accommodations alternative in the island are either very expensive or limited. They have a shuttle service taking guests to the Port to catch a ferry to the islands. A good choice!

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the Bikan Historical District, making it an ideal base for exploring the area on foot. Although the hotel does not have its own car park, there are a few nearby parking options where guests can park overnight. The room is small but functional, with the essentials for a comfortable stay. The hotel staff were excellent, friendly, and always ready to help. One particularly nice touch was the complimentary ramen served at night, which was a welcome treat after a day of sightseeing. Overall, despite the compact room and lack of on-site parking, we enjoyed our stay. We would still highly recommend this hotel, especially for its excellent location and easy access to the Bikan Historical District.
