Tsusen-en Garden National Park

The entire hotel feels worn and in need of an update. The area along the canal is nice enough and I felt safe at night, just wish I had chosen a better hotel.

The room is fantastic and so is the location given that it’s right next to the train station, but this is NOT a hotel. You sign in using a machine and you can’t drop your luggage in advance, or leave them there after which is frustrating when you’re arriving earlier. No human interaction at all, but the room is truly beautiful and it has an outdoor shower.

It's easy to check in & out. Also, it's close to Kurashiki Station. Nothing fancy nor gorgeous but very convenient.
