Fujita Vacations from NT$17,393

Excellent breakfast. Responsive and friendly staff. No frills in room but many amenities at front desk. 10 minute walk to station, and 8 minute drive to Sanyo. Shopping and eateries within a few minutes in all directions.

Not in walking distance to ferry as advertised. Had to take the shuttle but was only available in the mornings. Otherwise had to take a taxi to hotel. It was also attached to a bicycle racing track with betting, Keirin, an Olympic sport invented by the Japanese. The hotel onsen closed when the competitors were on site— one of the few amenities in this minimalist hotel. It is not a good place from which to visit the art island of Naoshima. Net time, I will definitely stay there. The hotel was expensive for where it was and the few amenities that were available.

Given a name like “Dormy” was not sire what to expect. This hotel had a lot of “extras” included, like the onsen bath, bot indoor and outside versions. Free ramen after 9:30, free icecream and massage chairs on the 9th floor. It was very close to the main historic part of Kurashiki, literally across the street. The rooms were a little small, bit the bed was comfortable. Also had laundry seevicrw for guests.

The location is the best.

Lovely room, easy parking. Coin laundrette available. Top floor has a lounge with good view of the area and free drinks. Walking distance to food and places of interest. Pleasant staff with limited English, nothing that a translator app can't manage.
