Kurashiki International Hotel

We stayed for one night during Silver Week. We traveled from Kansai to Okayama and Kurashiki, and this was our Accommodation for the trip. The location was very convenient for sightseeing in Kurashiki, just a short walk from the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. We arrived earlier than check-in time, but by paying an additional fee we were able to park our car, which was very helpful. We also saw quite a few cars looking for parking, so we could start sightseeing right away without wasting time. They also stored our large luggage, allowing us to explore Kurashiki hands-free.We stayed in a triple room in the main building. The building itself is not new and the bathroom was a unit bath, but everything was kept very clean and we were able to relax comfortably. With triple rooms, one bed is often a narrow extra bed, but here all three beds were spacious enough to sleep comfortably.We had dinner at the Hotel restaurant and ordered the steak course. It was very delicious.Since the number of dishes was modest, it might feel a bit light for young men or those who want to eat a lot. I think offering additional à la carte options could make it more satisfying for those guests.Breakfast was served buffet-style at the Hotel.There were many Japanese and Western options, and everything tasted great. I had seen in other Reviews that the curry is delicious; when I mentioned that, my husband and son went back for seconds and enjoyed it. For me, the pork miso soup made with Bizen miso was excellent—the aroma of the miso really stood out, and it made me want to try Bizen miso at home as well.The front desk staff and restaurant staff were kind overall and provided pleasant service, making this a truly enjoyable family trip.Thank you very much.

We were welcomed by paintings by Shiko Munakata. The cake set was delicious, and we were able to relax at a leisurely pace. The macarons we bought as souvenirs were just as well-reviewed and tasted great. We were also pleased with the location next to the Ohara Museum of Art. What concerned us was that the bedding felt tight and wasn’t very comfortable to sleep in. For some reason, there was only one pair of slippers. It turned out we did the right thing by bringing slippers for two people. A young female staff member greeted us with a warm smile and courteous service, which made our stay very pleasant.
