Kurashiki Ivy Square

As this was my first time in Okayama, I planned my trip mainly around sightseeing in Kurashiki and made a Reservation at Ivy Square. I ended up arriving late at night because work ran over, but the staff greeted me with “Mr./Ms. XX, we’ve been expecting you,” and their warmth truly touched me.The Room Facilities were all new and spotless, and I was more satisfied than I had imagined. Since we were staying in the Bikan Historical Quarter, my husband and I went for an early-morning run, and having a coin laundry on-site was incredibly helpful. (I’d be even happier if there were a few more machines.) I also asked several times for help arranging taxis, and each time they responded quickly and very courteously.My husband and I found ourselves saying every day, “Everyone at this Hotel is so friendly and always smiling—amazing,” and it quickly became one of our favorites. Next time we visit Kurashiki, we’ll definitely stay here again! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

Although it was pouring rain outside due to two typhoons, we stayed comfortably indoors with no sound of rain at all. The Room has a high, sloped ceiling, so it didn’t feel cramped in the slightest.Breakfast included my favorite “Mamakari,” and I was very satisfied. Everything was delicious.The bathroom was a bit small, but there is an in-room shower, so it wasn’t an issue.It’s also within walking distance of the Bikan Historical Quarter. The parking lot is spacious and costs 500 yen.Thank you for your hospitality.
