Restaurant & Ryokan Tsurugata

🏯A 400-year-old pine keeping watch over the Bikan quarter

Okayama · Restaurant & Ryokan Tsurugata

Rooms with history in the grain

• 🏯Pillars and floorboards marked by long use, Japanese carpentry left as it was built
• 🌿Windows onto a courtyard that turns with the seasons and the white-walled lanes beyond
• 🛏️Just 11 rooms — small enough to forget the crowds outside in the Bikan quarter

2

The largest room, Achi (阿知)

• 📐A 10-mat main room plus a 9-mat second room, 19 mats in all — the largest here
• 🌲Past the wooden veranda, a broad garden holding a pine of some 400 years
• 🍑On the old pillars, peach-shaped nail covers remain from the original build

Every room its own character

• 🏺Kibi (吉備) has a ceramic tub facing the courtyard garden
• 🧱Kinko and Gokei look through latticed windows onto namako-walled back lanes
• 📜Hashima, Sakazu, Washu and Yosho are converted storehouses — each room carries a different story

The house dish: sea bream ochazuke

• 🐟Sea bream steeped in sesame sauce, topped with fresh wasabi and nori
• 🍵Pour over hot tea, let it steep a moment — an ochazuke found only here
• 🍱Also on the menu: eel tamago-ju, domestic beef sukiyaki and other Japanese fare

Kaiseki, carefully made

In the heart of the Bikan quarter
