Kotobukichō Vacations from $1,783

It's easy to check in & out. Also, it's close to Kurashiki Station. Nothing fancy nor gorgeous but very convenient.

It’s a self check-in hotel. Room Size is bigger than regular hotels around. Have kitchen tools and you can cook some simple food. Location is convenient where close to the shopping area and restaurants. No luggage storage service, no onside laundry.

Hotel was clean and comfortable, and the room was a generous size. The bath area was also higher quality than many standard business-style hotels in Japan. Our self-check in process was a bit cold and off-putting due to the need to converse with staff over a video screen. Other than this jarring and unexpected experience, everything went very smoothly.

This was my favourite stay when visiting Japan. Quite quirky and probably was an ‘adult’ hotel at some stage but the rooms are very well appointed. I had a massage chair and spa in my room even though these weren’t mentioned. (Not to mention a slot machine and adult vending machine haha!) Amazing amenities including hair straightener and curler (in addition to the hair drier). It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included even though it wasn’t advertised. They take your order the day before and deliver to your room at your chosen time. Just amazing. And super cheap. Had parking. It’s in an industrial area but is good for a night or two. I would 100% stay here again when in Japan just for the novelty and incredibly cheap price for what you get.
