Kurashiki Yuga Onsen Hotel Santoka

We visited Okayama to Kurashiki to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and my wife’s 60th birthday, and stayed at Yamamomoka.We were welcomed with drinks and checked in.All the staff were kind and helpful, and the attendant in charge of our Room was especially cheerful and considerate—we became a fan.The front desk staff also kindly took photos for us, and thanks to the chef’s thoughtful arrangements, the meal was truly moving.However, it was disappointing that the water pressure in the cypress bath in the Room was extremely low—it took over an hour to fill—and the shower holder was loose.Perhaps because I am tall, the futon felt short and my feet stuck out. I felt there is room for improvement in these areas.Still, thanks to the staff, it became a memorable trip. Thank you very much.

We stayed here as a couple on our first trip to Okayama.We’ve stayed at many Ryokan and Hotels,and the value for money here was truly top-class.First, the Onsen was wonderful. The temperature wasn’t too hot, so we could soak for a long time. We also really enjoyed the view of the trees from the open-air bath.And above all, the meals.The seasoning was perfect!! Both the meat and fish were delicious. The shabu-shabu beef wasn’t the overly fatty A5 type you often see; it had a nice bite and real flavor. We ate it with ponzu, and my wife liked it so much she said she wanted to take some home.We definitely want to come again.By the way, they have table tennis—highly recommended.It’s fun for everyone.
