Hotels near Mount Tankui Observatory in Bizen

This was maybe the only major chain hotel in Ako at this time. The staff went out of their way to accommodate me and my only drawback I found was the lack of amenities. Ako for me was a must so this was the only real choice I had; now the real big plus is that it is attached to this small train station creating a possible future anchor spot in town.

Marvelous Prospect All rooms with seaview

The beautiful Seto Inland Sea spreads out in front of you when you enter the entrance! The view from the room with Hiro 々 can also see the beautiful sea and the dotted island 々. The facilities in the room are perfect because the bath and toilet are separated. The food was delicious, but the breakfast steak was great. (Good quality beef) You can also drive to the olive garden in a few minutes.

This hotel is set in a great location of Okayama, close to the shoutengai, Okayama castle and the JR station with lots of choice for food close by. Staff friendly and helpful. Would not recommend to use their car park or listen to the hotels advice on parking, we were quoted 2700¥ for a nights parking, when we took a look in the area we found parking for 900¥ for 24 hours. Room very nice if a little dated, lack of public ofuro was a little sad but what else to expect at this price. Bathroom a little small, but definitely ok again for the price. No breakfast offered or provided, so can’t really give any advice on this. However there is an amazing cafe around the corner that sells freshly made croissants 🥐 

We used it for event participation at Okayama Convention Center. It is directly connected to Okayama Station and it is very easy to move. It is also convenient to Okayama Convention Center. I think it depends on the location of the room, but the room I stayed this time was able to see the platform of Okayama Station from the room, so I think that is also attractive for those who like trains. There are many restaurants in the station building of Okayama Station and there is no inconvenience in eating. It is a very recommended hotel for those who have a business at the Convention Center since early morning at Okayama Station late at night.

　I almost missed breakfast on Sunday morning. At the time of check-in, you can see the photo and it is a set menu, so only the explanation is that you can choose from these 5 types on the day. Understand that it is ”set menu only”. Even though it is a business hotel in front of the station, Sunday starts at 7 o'clock 30 minutes later than weekdays. It seems to be entrusted to the tavern on the same floor as the front desk, and even if it is explained, the location is not clear, and it cannot be seen from the front desk. When I left the hotel at 7:30 and headed for the store, there was a person in the chair in front of me. However, there is no tag saying that you are waiting, so when you say breakfast in the store, you will say, ”Please wait in front.” When you try to write the name, there is no such thing. However, it seems that you should sit in the corridor and wait until the order comes. I heard that I took out, but I didn't. I have to leave for work, but this will miss eating breakfast ... When I returned to the front desk and explained the situation to the hotel staff, the hotel did not know the situation at all. I'll go to the breakfast shop together and listen to the situation. Finally, the first people started to leave, and luckily, the previous people were all group guests, so I sat at about 8:45. When I entered, the set was only the main, and a little buffet was added. Moreover, it is understood that only up to 8 people (groups) can enter the store in the form of a private room izakaya. With this, there is a great possibility that I couldn't enter the store even if I waited forever, and I think it is disqualified as breakfast at a business hotel. Don't throw the hotel round, understand what the situation is and improve it.

Is right at night spot area about 7-10 minutes walk from the JR station. Good for people wish to stay late. Front desk staffs are nice and helpful. Can’t ask for more for this price. A definite choice for limited budget guest. Even with a bath tub 👍

It is an inn that stayed overnight during a large consecutive holiday for Seto art. The hotel in Takamatsu city was very high and I didn't feel like staying at all, so I decided to stay at Shodo Island. I chose this inn with a high reputation among them. The inn is a minute walk when you leave the high-speed ship terminal at Dojo port. It is very close and convenient, and the bus stop is also right next to it, so I think it is the best location to go around Shodo Island. Check-in is smooth. The lobby is large and souvenir shops are complete. There are books, chairs, insect removal sprays, and it is relaxing, and it is exhausted. You can also leave your luggage before and after the stay. It is for pilgrimage to prepare water on the front door? Old-fashioned customs stir the willingness of travel. There is also an elevator, so it is safe for those who are inconvenient. The room became a room facing the road of 3 floor and 8 tatami mats. It is enough for two people. There are TV and hot water, but bath, toilet and washing are joint. Yukata is prepared. The men's toilet also had hot water washing. The bath is not large, but it is a level that is not a problem even if it enters with several people. The facilities are old, but they are clean and above all, the husband's lady is very kind. It is worth staying enough. The price is not so high, and if you choose a plan, you can have dinner and breakfast. Convenience stores are close even if you stay overnight. If you stay at Shodo Island, you can relax because you can precede those who come from uno and Takamatsu on the next day's sightseeing. It is especially recommended for those who are used for Setouchi Island 々. It is an inn that I want to use next time.
