Top Mount Washu Observatory Hotel Reviews

JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, quality highly maintained. Will stay again."

UNO HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second stay and I had a wonderful time. The rooms are very comfortable and very spacious. I enjoyed the balcony in the evenings. Access to the local onsen was really wonderful. The breakfasts are amazing, especially the different smoothies and juices. The location is convenient for visiting local islands. Staff are friendly and helpful."

Hotel Grand Cocoe Kurashiki

8/10 Good

"I stayed here two nights recently as a solo female traveler. The hotel is walking distance to the Kurashiki train station, which is a plus. Room was very compact but spotlessly clean. Linens provided are minimum - one pillow, one body towel, wash towel, etc. but they left an extra set of all towels on my door the next day. The room is perfect if all you are looking for is a nice, clean place to sleep, which I was. Staff was friendly. I would recommend this hotel."
