Kurashiki Vacations from ￥52,056

Such a great hotel! Right across from train station, express bus stop, and port for ferry to Naoshima. Our room (two twins) was gorgeous, very comfortable, nice shower, separate tpiletrppm, sink in main part of room. TV allowed access to Netflix, Hulu, etc. Our reservation included access to the neighboring onsen, which had both indoor and outdoor pools. Our reservation also onuded breakfast, which was DELICIOUS. A flight of freshly made juices (orange, lemonade, tomato & red pepper, spinach and apple, blueberry and red cabbage - sounds weird but was great), appetizer of steamed veggies and carrot soup, eggs Benedict made with tasty fish, croissant and roll, coffee. So good. FYI the first floor is a hostel (shared dorms and bathrooms), but that didn't affect our stay (we were on the third floor). Hotel has a denim theme thanks to Betty Smith factory nearby. When we come back, we will stay at this hotel and take ferry back and forth to Naoshima rather than staying on Naoshima itself (we had a great hotel, but it didn't give us access to an onsen!).

Place was clean and appreciated having 3 beds instead of one bed and one futon. Was near the station and easily walkable to local eateries. Check in was smooth and would recommend for others to stay here.

Hotel incorporated into a velodrome away from the port but easy walk to catch the ferry to the islands. Lunch and dinner menu's offered are not up to Japanese standard so you need to eat at Uno port unless you want fried food. Breakfast okay but no fresh fruit. A word of warning even if you just want a drink at the restaurant after your day you need to book at reception on your return to the hotel. Also need to book shuttle if you want transfer to Uno station on any day. Bike hire available for taking on the ferry for Island tours. Rooms small so travel light as no room for larger suitcases.
