Tatsuno Castle Town Machiya Villa Kurasu

10/10 Excellent

"Tatsuno is a charming, former samurai town that is easily explored on foot. We were in the area to visit the Hijemi Castle, and were very happy to be in Tatsuno, away from the bustle of tourists. The machiya is large, beautiful, elegant, and very comfortable...we could spread out and relax. We loved our short stay in the refurbished traditional home. As designers, we appreciated the architecture and tasteful decor. The traditional bathroom, with soaking tub, had lovely amenities. The garden is a delight. We had a great stroll around town and visited both the castle and the Shoyu Museum, which was very interesting. Would highly recommend Villa Kurasu. Beautiful home, host/innkeeper was very nice. It's challenging to get a taxi/driver, so if you don't have a car, be prepared to walk to the train station."

Yunogo Onsen HOTEL YUNOMORI

10/10 Excellent

"The property able to provide shuttle service from Okayama station and from the nearest JR station. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. There’s a small restaurant in the hotel, so even u didn’t have dinner booking, there will be place for you to eat. The room is big and in good condition."
