How about a visit to the tourist complex "Kurashiki Ivy Square"? It doesn't have the feel of a "hot spring Ryokan (Japanese inn)", but it's located in Kurashiki's scenic area, so it's a very convenient location for sightseeing in the area. The building is also very beautiful, and it has a museum attached to it. There are various activities on site, so I think it would be fun to go there with friends.

It used to be a major hotel chain, so it still has that look and feel, and is a very luxurious hotel. It's not a hot spring hotel, but it has a clean, modern hotel-style bath. It's located in front of Kurashiki Station on the Sanyo Main Line, in the scenic area, so it's very convenient for sightseeing. If you're prioritizing sightseeing in Kurashiki, why not consider this as an option?

Although it is not a hot spring, I think that the interior atmosphere and amenities make it a hotel that women will enjoy. It is also a formal hotel, and wedding ceremonies are held there. The restaurant in the hotel is good, but I wanted to try mamakari, so I went to a nearby izakaya that is famous for its fish.

How about "Washiu Grand Hotel Bizenya Koshi" in Washu Onsen, facing the Seto Inland Sea? The alkaline spring water is known as a "Bijin-no-yu (a hot spring of beauty)" that leaves your skin smooth. In addition, the view from the open-air bath is so beautiful that it has been selected as one of the "100 Best Sunsets in Japan," so it's the perfect place for a memorable hot spring inn.

Hello. Kurashiki is an area with few pure hot springs (though there are plenty of hot spring imitation ones). I recommend Yamamoka, a modern Ryokan (Japanese inn) with Japanese and Western-style rooms. The meals are kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）based on Japanese tastes. The location is a little difficult to find, so please do your research beforehand.

I stayed here during the long weekend to visit the Ohara Museum of Art. There are several venues for the Kurashiki Hinamatsuri, and I heard from the hotel that you need to travel by train to get there. If you're just looking to stay and don't want too much, there's no better hotel than one that's close to the station. There are hotels that are closer to the station, but of the hotels I've stayed at, I recommend this one.

If you have time, there is a free shuttle service after sightseeing in Kurashiki during the day. How about a hotel with a view of the Great Seto Bridge from Mt. Washuu and the Mizushima industrial area? It's soothing to watch the Seto Inland Sea. There is a Seto Great Bridge Spa Resort next door. When my friends come to Kurashiki, I stay here with them. If you have any concerns, please check with the hotel.

It's difficult to find hot springs in Kurashiki, as there aren't many of them. How about this inn, which boasts excellent cuisine? You can relax in a Japanese-style room, and best of all, you can enjoy it on a budget. It's a little far from the station, so we recommend taking a bus (there is a free shuttle bus) or a taxi.

This is Ryokan (Japanese inn) that exudes the atmosphere of Kurashiki. Although the structure is old, it is clean and very tasteful, so I recommend it. It used to be a traditional Japanese restaurant, so the food is delicious, with kaiseki cuisine made with plenty of seafood. You can relax and enjoy the garden. The bath is also very comfortable. I think it's a good inn for sightseeing and enjoying Kurashiki.

If you are looking for a quaint Ryokan (Japanese inn) in the Kurashiki area that will leave you with a lasting memory, we recommend Yoshii Ryokan (Japanese inn). Yoshii Ryokan (Japanese inn) is located in the famous Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, making it the perfect location for enjoying Kurashiki's sights. It is also conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from JR Kurashiki Station.

Although the name is "hotel", you can relax in a Japanese-style room and enjoy the open-air bath with a beautiful view of the Seto Inland Sea. If you make a reservation, there is a shuttle bus to JR Kojima Station, so it is convenient. The dinner buffet is lively with live performances (depending on the season), so if you value atmosphere, we recommend dining in your room.

This hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes from Okayama Station and close to Korakuen. The scenery around the hotel is beautiful, and the interior of the hotel is also very nice. There is a lot of art on display. The rooms are designed for ease of use, so you can have a comfortable stay. The bathroom amenities are also top-notch, so you can feel a little luxurious. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of seasonal ingredients, Okayama local cuisine, and European cuisine, and everything is freshly made and delicious. Each dish is carefully prepared, and the vegetables used are grown on-site, so they are very fresh.

It's in a building in front of Kurashiki Station. The rooms on the upper floors are not noisy and there is no noise from cars or other things. The rooms are larger than those in business hotels and are relaxing. I think the food is also quite delicious. It's great that you can go there without getting wet even if it rains in front of the station.
