Around Dawn Art Museum × Playful And Fun AccommodationRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

Not the art of a museum, but the subtle art in everyday life. Kouraku Hotel is a hotel unique to Okayama with a relaxed atmosphere. Located in front of Okayama Station with good access, it stands by Nishikawa Ryokudo Park, allowing you to stay in a lush green environment. Inside the hotel, there is a "small museum" displaying Bizen ware by Living National Treasures, which you can enjoy at your leisure.

"A&A (Artist & Architect)" is an accommodation created through the collaboration of globally renowned contemporary artists and leading Japanese architects. The concept and design of the building were developed through joint efforts between each artist and architect. The facility itself is a work of art, allowing guests to experience and enjoy art by staying within it. This project has been expanding over approximately 20 years, with two A&A accommodations currently located in Okayama City. Each property is available as a private rental for one group per day, offering guests a serene and private space to relax at their leisure.

About a 7-minute walk from JR "Okayama" Station East Exit. The interior features tiles in the shape of "irregular pentagons," inspired by the historically significant stone walls of Okayama Castle.

Located just a 10-minute drive from Okayama Station, our property is situated in the bustling downtown area, right between Okayama Station and Okayama Castle/Korakuen Garden. With the concept of "Your Home Away from Home in Okayama," we strive to provide hospitality that makes you feel as if you've returned to your own home. We are renovating one floor per year, offering uniquely designed Rooms such as those where you can relax barefoot or sit on tatami mats. We also have family Rooms for 2 to 4 people, where you can sleep on futons, allowing children to safely enjoy Child Sharing Existing Bedding without the worry of falling off, and even crawl around freely. These features have been highly praised by families. Additionally, we have a parking lot on the first floor (the front desk is on the second floor) that can accommodate vehicles like Hiace vans, allowing you to access the building without getting wet in the rain. Our in-house restaurant serves breakfast where fish is freshly grilled on an iron plate right in front of you, providing a delicious and energizing start to your day. We highly recommend giving it a try. The surrounding area is convenient for your stay, with many restaurants, supermarkets, and even a general hospital that accepts emergency cases at night. Our staff eagerly awaits your visit and looks forward to welcoming you wholeheartedly.
