Born in the 70s
Where I went to school: G
Hi there,I was born and raised in Okayama, so I know a lot about tourist attractions that can be reached from Okayama. When I was a kid, on weekends, my family and I would often go on day trips by car. Using the highway, you can easily go to Himeji, Hiroshima, Kagawa, Tottori, Kobe, Kochi, and more. Okayama has both the sea and the mountains, and it is conveniently located for transportation, so it is great for day trips to various places. It is also a medium-sized city, so there are plenty of parking spaces and little traffic, making it easy to get around by car. When I was in college, I shared a room with an American in Tokyo, and through that connection, I also had the opportunity to stay with a host family. Since then, I have loved traveling abroad and have visited many different countries. Every time I travel, I feel that the accommodation has a significant impact on my overall satisfaction with the trip. I would be delighted if I could help you relax and unwind at this inn and make your trip two or even three times more enjoyable.
