Fodor's Review:

Treat yourself to a stay—or perhaps just a fantastic dinner—at this charming 260-year-old ryokan. Rooms are intimate and secluded, but it's best to come for the fabulous—and 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 (see below) own and manage the Ryokan Tsurugata, so some English is spoken and foreigners are welcome—and rather pampered. You'll need patience 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.
