Kurashiki × Zen-Inspired AccommodationRecommended Hotel·Ryokan for family trips

Kurashiki Bikan District Yoshi Ryokan was originally built as a private residence in the late Edo period, a time when the area flourished as a tenryo (directly governed land). As one of the traditional buildings within the Kurashiki Riverbank Traditional Building Preservation District, protected under the Cultural Properties Protection Act, we have preserved its exterior while operating as a Ryokan for over a century, upholding Kurashiki's spirit of hospitality. Amid the fast-paced days of modern life, we invite you to fully enjoy the seasonal breezes flowing through this traditional Ryokan in the Kurashiki Bikan District. We look forward to welcoming you.

"Yoruya" is a culinary accommodation with 13 rooms, located in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, aiming to provide guests with an experience that reflects the essence of Kurashiki through dining and accommodation. The 110-year-old traditional building, originally constructed during the Meiji era as an annex for a kimono shop, has been renovated and expanded to include 13 guest rooms, a U-shaped dining area with 16 seats, and a wine bar open to non-staying guests. At "Yoruya," we embrace the changing seasons not just by the calendar's four divisions but by incorporating ingredients and cooking methods inspired by Japan's twenty-four solar terms and seventy-two micro-seasons, offering a culinary experience that expresses Kurashiki's local culture.

Surrounded by the rich natural beauty of the sea and mountains. Architecture and furniture born from handcrafted artistry. This is not a glamorous or convenient place. There’s no phone signal, no TV, and no Wi-Fi. It’s located at the end of a steep hill, and nights are pitch dark. However, we take pride in our baths. Indoors, you’ll find a bath meticulously crafted by skilled artisans through repeated effort and polishing to perfection. Outdoors, we offer another option—a cypress open-air bath for your enjoyment. Close your eyes, listen to the sound of waves or birdsong as you immerse yourself in water. At night, under a sky full of stars, let yourself be enveloped by the soothing scent of cypress wood.And then there’s the sea stretching out before you. The tranquil evening glow paints an emotional scene at sunset; at night, moonlight reflects on the water creating a path of light across its surface. On cloudy or rainy mornings shrouded in misty air—ships passing through seem as though they’re gliding across the sky itself.We hope to guide our guests into this way of life here with us.There are no grand celebrations prepared nor lavish hospitality offered.Instead—we wish simply share what feels truly special even after experiencing it daily: "cherished simplicity."Heima means "home" in Icelandic—a place that might become someone’s home for their heart here too someday!

Toto Kurashiki Mingeikan Minami Accommodation consists of three Accommodations—“Riverside Accommodation,” “Inner Accommodation,” and “Rear Accommodation”—created by restoring a building long used as a medical clinic into an Accommodation.“Riverside Accommodation” is a renovated attic space in a Meiji-era building that served as a clinic for many years.

A private, whole-house Accommodation created by fully renovating a Showa-era home at Uno Port—the gateway to Okayama Prefecture—where ferries come and go to the Setouchi islands where everyday life and art intertwine, such as Naoshima and Teshima. What you’ll find here is a way of spending time that extends naturally from life in a seaside town: time to receive shifting light and passing breezes with your whole body, like a vessel. Interpreting Setouchi and Uno in our own way, we have composed an introspective space through custom-built furniture, antiques, music, and books. This is an in-town retreat—not for showing off to others, but for reconsidering your connection with yourself and the place, and for letting sensory, poetic feelings quietly mature.In other words, this is not a luxury Facility: there are no lavish meals or staffed services. There is no TV in the Room. And because we have preserved the structure of a Showa-era house, it may be somewhat less comfortable or insulated than modern homes. There is no breathtaking ocean view.We would be glad if you choose this place as somewhere to spend cradle-like hours—soaking in the afterglow of your journey, or resting right in its midst.
