Hostels in Okayama Prefecture, Japan

The Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter is a bit like the Jiangnan water towns of China, with its fresh and artistic atmosphere, weeping willows, boat trips, and many interesting little shops. I chose this hostel in Kurashiki for a night on my way to Okayama, and it was a wise choice. Kurashiki's beauty deserves to be savored, and this affordable and unique hostel added to my wonderful memories. From JR Kurashiki Station, walk towards the Bikan Historical Quarter, cross the shopping street, and it's about a 15-minute walk to the hostel. The hostel is located in an alleyway near the main tourist area, with a simple, eye-catching white exterior. The staff were cheerful and welcoming. They showed me to my room and explained the location of the bathing facilities. Although I don't speak Japanese and my English is limited, their kindness and patience were truly wonderful. The hostel has a bar on the first floor, and the next building is the accommodation. I stayed in bed 215C, which was clean and comfortable. There is a women's bathroom on this floor, with three shower rooms. The showers had good water pressure and were well-equipped with fresh towels and bath linens. I purchased a sandwich breakfast for the next day at the front desk for 800 yen. The breakfast time is from 6:30 to 9:30. The two flavors of sandwiches are very delicious, and there is also black tea and yogurt, which I like very much.

There is a free parking lot under the slope for 0 minutes walk. The bath is a time rental for each room, and I am satisfied that I can take a nice bath with my partner.

It's very convenient to stay here when I transfer to an early flight from Narita Airport to Shikoku. It's a small area but I don't feel cramped. I'm quite satisfied with it. Disposable toothbrushes and slippers are provided. There were few people when I stayed there, so it was quite quiet.
