HOTEL MYSTAYS Okayama

HOTEL MYSTAYS Okayama is located just a 5-minute walk from the east exit of JR Okayama Station. Situated nearby the Omotecho Shopping Street—the busiest shopping area in the city—and the Okayama Prefectural Government building, the hotel is perfect for everything from business to sightseeing. Various types of rooms are available depending on the number of guests. We strive to create a comfortable environment for all of our guests to enjoy their stay. Right beside the hotel is the “corridor of green,” a 2.4-kilometer stretch of the Nishigawa Canal Walk where you can enjoy a pleasant stroll surrounded by colorful flowers and plants. Why not sit back and enjoy the gently shifting scenery of the four seasons?

Here, you can find some of the most exquisite sightseeing destinations in Okayama, from Okayama Castle (also known as “Crow Castle” due to its black lacquer exterior; currently undergoing renovations and due to reopen in November 2022) to Okayama Koraku-en (a strolling garden with a central pond; known as one of the three most scenic gardens in Japan). Both are about 14 minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot from the hotel, making it a very convenient base to access them. Okayama, which has relatively little annual rainfall and a warm Setouchi climate, is known as “the Sunshine Prefecture.” The fruit grown in this climate is simply exquisite: Okayama is a fertile producer of fruits such as white peaches, Muscat grapes, and Pione grapes. At Kubo Fruit Farm, located roughly 40 minutes by car from our hotel, you can try your hand at a grape-harvesting activity, buy freshly picked fruits and vegetables, or enjoy a barbecue of prefectural brand meat. Perfect for making unforgettable memories with your family!

The Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, popular for its retro-modern atmosphere, comes highly recommended as a sightseeing destination. The scenic buildings, with their white and namako walls, that line the Kurashiki River once used for boat transport of goods, combine with the willow trees along the street to create a delightful atmosphere. Against this backdrop, you can find stylish boutiques and cafés made out of refurbished traditional townhouses. These are the kinds of factors that make Kurashiki a popular tourist destination all year round. From our hotel, you can reach it in about 40 minutes by car or 50 minutes by train. Feel free to use HOTEL MYSTAYS Okayama as the base of operations for your sightseeing vacation!
