Where to Stay in Okayama: Hotels Near Denim Street

Question

I'm planning a trip to Okayama. I'd especially like to visit Kojima, home to the famous "Jeans Street." I'm looking for a hotel that's convenient for not only sightseeing but also experiencing Okayama's unique culture, including delicious food and the city's famous denim. Could you recommend a stylish hotel or one that's popular with locals?

We recommend Hotel Granvia Okayama, located right in front of Okayama Station. This is a landmark hotel in Okayama, with a clean lobby and rooms that exude a stylish atmosphere. If you stay in a room on a higher floor, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of Okayama city, which is very pleasant. Of course, Kojima Station is also easily accessible by train. The hotel itself is very convenient and comfortable, so even if you get tired from sightseeing on Jeans Street, you can quickly relax in your room.

If you're traveling to Okayama, Kurashiki is a convenient base. The Kurashiki Royal Art Hotel is within walking distance of Kurashiki Station, and its location right in front of the famous Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter is also appealing. Kojima, where you'll find your destination, Jeans Street, is less than an hour away by train from Kurashiki Station. This is recommended for those who want to efficiently see all the sights in Okayama, such as browsing denim in Kojima in the morning and strolling through the beautiful streets of Kurashiki in the afternoon.

If you're sightseeing in Kojima, we recommend "DENIM HOSTEL float." JR Kojima Station and Jeans Street are about a 20-minute drive away. Because it's a hostel, you can stay more casually than in a hotel and the accommodation costs are lower. The attached cafe bar is frequented by locals, so you might be able to experience the local Okayama atmosphere. This is the perfect place for those who want to efficiently sightsee and those who want to interact with locals a little.

If you're going to Kojima, we recommend WASHU BLUE RESORT Kazego, which offers a spectacular view. Located on a hill called Washuzan, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea and the majestic Setouchi Bridge from your room or lobby. In the open-air bath, you can relax and feel as if you're connected to the sea. It's also just a 10-minute drive to Jeans Street, making it a convenient base for sightseeing.
