We had an excellent stay at Yoruba over 2 nights in October. Miya & his team were fantastic - very welcoming! The food produced by the dining team was wonderful - both dinner & breakfast. And special thanks to Tsuki for looking after us. Would recommend a stay here.
The staff was very helpful and some speak English very well. The Japanese breakfast was amazing.
Must note there is no tv. If you have trouble going up and down stairs, request the one floor room. Beer and juice drinks and some snacks are complementary. Walkable to the Bikan district.
Our stay at Yoruya was perfect. It was a real treat to stay in a Japanese Inn style hotel with a beautiful and comfortable interior. The staff were extremely helpful and also made us feel very welcome. The hotel is extremely well located for walking to the Bikan Historical Quarter.
If you are coming to Kurushiki, this is the perfect place to stay.
