Ryokan Kurashiki

Ryokan Kurashiki is a traditional Japanese inn within the well-preserved Bikan District of Kurashiki in southern Japan. Located near the Nakabashi bridge, and overlooking a willow-lined canal, this oasis of calm rests amid the bustling merchant quarters dating back to the Edo Period. Entering through paved paths flanked by Japanese gardens, you’re ushered in by cheerful kimono-wearing staff. The former warehouse with rolled tile roof and other charming details, is tastefully renovated to house eight uniquely designed rooms, each showcasing a minimalist aesthetic. Sleep blissfully in the spacious Higashi and Matsu suites, featuring tatami mat rooms, large beds, private baths with wooden ofuro, and most modern amenities. Relax all afternoon taking a dip at the hotel’s traditional onsen. Enjoy tea and sweets at the vintage lounge offering garden views, or sample local sake at the restaurant.
