Kurashiki Ivy Square Hotel

Frommer's Review

An interesting place to stay and a good choice in this price category, this hotel opened in 1974 in a brick converted cotton mill on Ivy Square. Much of the architectural style of the old mill has been left intact, and rooms have a rural, simple atmosphere. Some rooms face a tiny expanse of green grass and an ivy-covered wall or a canal with koi fish (much better than those facing a parking lot). Deluxe rooms are actually two-room suites. The Bikan Historical Quarter is just a minute's walk away, but the train station is a 25-minute hike away.

Facilities:
Restaurant; summer beer garden; bar; shopping arcade; in-room massage
