Kurashiki Homestays

I spent one night in Kurashiki on my way to Takamatsu. I arrived rather late but still went for a walk around the canal in the old town - definitely worth it as it’s much quieter than during the day. Same thing for an early morning walk, great for pictures. Hostel Cuore has a nice bar downstairs, where you also check in and check out. The female dorm was very comfortable, it’s more as if you have your own mini-room: the upper ‘pods’ have real stairs to climb up to them instead of a ladder. There is a curtain in front of every pod-entrance, so lots of privacy (apart from the curtain for the external window that was lacking right in front of my bed). I did miss a fridge in the tiny common room though, where kitchen facilities seemed very limited. It’s very close to the old quarter, in a perfect location. I went for lunch at the Mamakari-tei, they only serve the famous ‘sardines’ with their most expensive menu set, but it was definitely worth it. I visited several of the sites: - Ohara museum of art: I skipped the part with western painting but enjoyed the Asian section. In the morning there was also a hall open with views of the garden, worth a look. - Ohashi house: lovely place with a really enchanting tea house at the end of the tour. You can order the tea in the previous stop ( the library if I remember well) but have it served in the teahouse with a view of the garden. Lovely and quiet experience, nice chat with the lady working there. - I skipped the toy and Momotaro museums as I had no specific interest in them and didn’t want to overload the day - Kurabo memorial hall: not a lot of English captions, but if you like old pictures of the industrial heritage of the area, this is a nice stop - Achi-jinja: lovely shrine just a short climb up from the old quarter. Very atmospheric and quiet. - Craft museum: well presented, nice souvenir shop I ended up buying quite some souvenirs here: some cute toys and products made from the fabric that is used in tatami mats.

The location is in the beautiful area, and some net red shops in the beautiful area are very close. Living in it can enjoy the noise of the day and the silence of the night. The only fly in the ointment is that the room is on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first floor. If you want to get up at night, there are some inconveniences because the stairs are a bit steep. Also the hotel offers free parking, very friendly for self-driving people. 8

I used it on my way home. The outlet was in front of me, and I was able to shop the next day and it was great. I would like to use it again.

The accommodation exceeded my expectations!! I was satisfied with everything from the size, cleanliness, style, and location! I recommend that anyone staying at this accommodation make sure to plan a long stay! The only thing to note is that they don't provide pajamas.

The octopus sashimi for dinner was outstanding and delicious And when my mother said she was diabetic, she was very concerned about changing sweeteners and introducing them to treat them. I left two pots of rice without any help, but I made it a rice ball and let me have it. The sardines that I baked for breakfast were very delicious.
