THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

Ryokan Kurashiki is in the center of Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter, a location with enough history to keep a visitor interested for days. Next door is Kohi-kan, a cozy old wood and brick traditional-style kisaten coffee shop, one of the first in Japan to roast coffee beans on the premises, and when they're roasting, the aroma of coffee wafts deliciously about the neighborhood.
