Ryokan Tsurugata Review

Treat yourself to a stay—or perhaps just a fantastic dinner—at this charming ryokan built in 1774. Rooms are intimate and secluded, but it's best to come for the fabulous, filling, traditional dinners that incorporate the best local delicacies, from fish to fruit. The suite overlooking the 400-year-old garden is especially captivating. The same friendly and hospitable folks who run the Kurashiki Kokusai Hotel own and manage the Ryokan Tsurugata, so some English is spoken and foreigners are welcome and pampered. You'll need patience and advance planning when requesting reservations, since the number of available rooms is limited and the demand is high. The hotel is across the bridge from the Ohara Art Museum.
