Binai Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

The place felt a bit old overall, but that only made it wonderfully nostalgic. The child we brought along also found it refreshingly different and enjoyed exploring inside. The meals were full of that nostalgic vibe as well. We also appreciated the thoughtful touch of having coloring pages so our child wouldn’t get bored. They even lent us tabletop games at the front desk, which was perfect for killing a little time. Everyone’s service was great, and we had a very comfortable stay. The view from the bath stretched far into the distance, and it was relaxing to just zone out and enjoy it. Also, the adjacent pool was really fun. There were about four different slides, and it’s hard to pick a favorite. The one from the very top was my first time sliding through complete darkness—exciting and a little scary. Since the pool is extremely close to the Accommodation, it’s a big help for families with kids. Guests can reserve spots earlier than day visitors, which made things super easy. If I had to ask for one thing: I noticed traces of what looked like an arcade area in the building—if only that were still there...

We received plenty of vegetables grown by the owner. When I mentioned that I liked plums, they kindly brought some extra for us. Both the vegetables and fruits were absolutely delicious! There was also a wonderful surprise waiting in the Room, which deeply moved me! The scenery was stunning, offering an extraordinary experience. The night sky was especially beautiful, and we even saw shooting stars! They also shared ways to enjoy each season there, making me want to visit again. When that time comes, I will definitely stay here once more! Thank you for helping us create such wonderful travel memories!

I wanted to buy Okayama grapes, so I looked for a place near the Grape Roman Museum and chose this one. The atmosphere was very warm and relaxing. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and I was very satisfied. Above all, the service was extremely polite and attentive.

The building itself is old, but I think it’s perfectly fine for a Business Hotel. If I had to point out anything, the shower’s hot water flow can be inconsistent, and the shampoo and body soap are placed on the floor (lol). The front desk staff were very polite and attentive.

I visited Yakage Accommodation last year as well. This year, I made a last-minute reservation and was able to stay at Kura Inn. Unfortunately, the nearby bathing facility seems to be under renovation this year. Staying in a building with a historical atmosphere is always enjoyable. The room is compact but equipped with new facilities like a sink, toilet, and shower room, making it comfortable. It would be nice to have additional hooks or shelves near the sink or air conditioner. While tea is provided in the room, having some small snacks would be appreciated. It would also be great if cleansing products, lotion, emulsion, face masks, headbands, and cotton swabs were available either in the room or at the front desk. Since the buildings look similar in design, having a clear marker for the front desk would help. The parking area was hard to locate; prior information about where to park would be helpful. The meals were served in a historically rich dining space and featured beautifully presented seasonal seafood that was absolutely delicious! However, the air conditioning felt too cold during dinner time. Breakfast was also delightful; enjoying it while overlooking the garden added charm—grilled fish along with sweet rolled omelets and creatively arranged side dishes and salads were all incredibly tasty!
