滔々 御崎 二階の宿 toutou Onzaki Nikai no Yado

One of the most special hotels we’ve ever stayed at. So much care invested in every detail from the shokupan and local jams, to the incredibly luxurious sheets to the beautiful furniture pieces. Thank you for such a magical and unforgettable stay in Kurashiki! 🥰 P.s. the photos really do not do the space justice! It’s a stunning room.

Though it’s not a traditional hotel as we expected, we were greatly surprised by the level of services it provided. In our opinions, it is comparable to a 5-Star home. 1). The room is spacious, well designed making us feel like living in a cozy home. It is new, clean, and comfortable to sit, sleep, talk, eat, shower, or to do anything with the tiny—yet containing everything you need in a a kitchen — cupboard style kitchen. 2). The bread, fruit, coffee/tea, milk, jam etc were all very fresh and tasty. The drip coffee was so good that I bought 3 packs from their shop. 3). The bed, pillows and duvets are so comfortable. Most importantly, the mattress is hard yet soft enough to support our back. 4). Everything in the room is nicely and aesthetically decorated and arranged. Even the small roof top area is good to enjoy. 5). The only thing I needed to be careful with is the stairs going up to the room or to the roof balcony. I have quite weak knees and we are not used to steep stairs which are common in Japanese buildings. 6). The Manager, Fast-san, is extremely service-oriented. She asked through email in advance in order to prepare for our arrival. She provided all the information we needed and even booked dinner tables for us at two of her recommended restaurants. 7). On our departure day, their staff offered to take our luggage down to the taxi Fast-san booked for us already, as I’m very concerned about the stairs. 8). We have nothing to complain about Toutou, which is rare in my nearly 50 years of travel history. 9). It’s very good value for money. Last but not least, many thanks to Rie Fast and your team for making our stay in Toutou so memorable.
