Kurashiki Ekimae Universalhotel
JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu
Excellent place to stay especially if you want to explore Naoshima or the other islands near by. Close to the docks and the trains. Breakfast buffet choices are extensive and the staff is always friendly and helpful. If we are going back to this part of Japan we will definitely book there.

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Okayama Ekimae
Great location in Okayama, right near the station and across from a great area for bars and restaurants. Was tricky to find initially from the station, but once you know the route its easy to go back and forth. Staff were very friendly and polite helping with holding bags before check in, amenities ...
