Yoshii Ryokan in Kurashiki

Beautiful old ryokan with large rooms and wonderful bathrooms. Excellent location in the old part of Kurashiki. Friendly welcome.

The ryokan has little atmosphere and, though our room was lovely with a small garden view, it felt in need of attention. Our main gripe was that it is poor value for money. Service was okay but we felt rushed at meal times, including being called earlier than we’d indicated. We had no water in our room the first night and it was clear they knew about it when we reported it. Yet the second night there was a patronising note telling us which way to turn the tap (to red obviously) and telling us to let it run for two minutes (we’d tried longer). The bath was good temperature the first night but lukewarm the second. Perhaps all this is due to Covid-reduced tourism but this Ryokan will need to up its game considerably to be worth the money. Location is great but, as the historical quarter is small, staying in it is not crucial.
