Fodor's Expert Review Kurashiki Kokusai Hotel

1--1--44 Chuo, Kurashiki, Okayama-ken, 710-0046, Japan

The town's oldest Western-style hotel welcomes guests with a black-tile lobby and dramatic Japanese wood-block prints. The rooms are dated, but large. Ask for one in the newer annex at the back of the building overlooking the garden. The location is ideal—just around the corner from the Ohara Art Museum, a 10-minute walk on the main road leading southeast from the station.

PROS

  • location is near the good stuff
  • welcoming atmosphere
  • capable staff

CONS

  • not riverside like the ryokan
  • some rooms need updating
  • rooms are on the small side
