ABOUT
About this ryokan
🏮A night in the Bikan district, a century in the making
Okayama · Ryokan Kurashiki
1
A Century-Old Machiya in the Bikan District
- 🏛️A long-established ryokan on Honmachi street, where Edo and Taisho Kurashiki still stand
- 🏮A roughly hundred-year-old machiya plus a former sugar wholesaler and storehouses, remade with modern architecture
- 🚭Entirely non-smoking, and cars can pull up to the front entrance to drop off luggage
2
Eight Independent Rooms, No Two Alike
- 🛏️Each room occupies its own building, giving every one its own character (1–4 guests, about 61–81 sqm)
- 🏯Tatsumi no Ma was a rice storehouse of some 280 years; Kura no Ma, a tool storehouse over 300
- 🛁Okuzashiki, the largest at 81.5 sqm, has a koyamaki wood tub and its own tsuboniwa garden
3
A Semi-Open-Air Private Bath Facing the Garden
- ♨️Hanareyu, a semi-open-air private bath with an aji-stone tub passed down from earlier generations
- 🌿Fifty minutes per group, with the green of the tsuboniwa garden in view
- 🕒Not a hot spring but a reservable bath, open 15:00–23:00 and 6:00–9:00 the next morning
4
Kaiseki from the Seto Inland Sea
- 🍶Strictly local sourcing, with Japanese kaiseki built on seasonal Seto Inland Sea ingredients
- 🐟Seasonal courses featuring summer hamo, Shimotsui octopus, and Okayama wagyu
- 🍽️Dinner begins between 18:00 and 20:00 in the restaurant; some plans are served in the Nishi no Ma or Yu no Ma rooms
5
Gardens, a Terrace, and the Spaces an Old Inn Keeps
- 🌳Yozen no Niwa, a dry landscape stroll garden dating to the Edo period
- ☕Coffee, tea, matcha, and sweets are free in the private lounge called the Terrace
- 📚Next door, a coffee house roasting its own beans since 1971 pours nel-drip coffee
6
The Residence: One Group a Day, a House to Yourselves
- 🏠Two century-old machiya on Honmachi street, restored as lodgings for a single group per day
- 🛁Both Omoya (80.6 sqm) and Hanare (37.1 sqm) have koyamaki tubs and kitchens
- 🧺A washer-dryer and cooking equipment make longer stays comfortable
7
In the Heart of Bikan, Everything on Foot
- 🚉About 15 minutes on foot from JR Kurashiki Station; from Okayama Airport, take the limousine bus to the station
- 🌉Across from the tourist information center, beside Nakabashi bridge over the Kurashiki River
- 🅿️Guest parking was discontinued in July 2025, so use the municipal lots (the Residence has its own parking)
In a machiya townhouse that has stood for over a century, stay in Kurashiki's Bikan district the way locals live it. There is no hot spring, but a small semi-open-air private bath, Seto Inland Sea kaiseki, and rooms carved from old storehouses carry all the character of a true old inn.

쿠라시키 미관지구(전통적 건조물군 보존지구) 중에서도 에도 시대부터 다이쇼 시대에 이르는 운치 있는 마치야와 상가들이 늘어선 쿠라시키 혼마치 도리. 100년이 넘는 세월을 간직하며 고요히 자리한 두 채의 마치야를 각각 하루 한 팀 한정의 숙소로 재탄생시켰습니다. 시간의 흔적이 깃든 건물에 역시 일본 전통 소재인 목재와 화지를 많이 사용하면서도 현대의 가벼움과 쾌적함을 갖춘 '계속 살아가는 숙소'입니다. 쿠라시키의 아름다운 삶을 특별한 일상의 시간으로 천천히 즐겨보시기 바랍니다.
