If you love a lovely atmosphere reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films, Hayashima is your city, and this traditional guesthouse feels like a fairy tale. It's an absolutely amazing place. You can relax in the main room, enjoying a drink or a meal while taking in the view of a traditional Japanese garden filled with birds and dragonflies. The garden and quiet environment are wonderful. The town is small and cozy, making it a perfect base, just a few stops away from Okayama. The guesthouse owner is incredibly kind and helpful. When I lost my wallet, he went out of his way to assist and cheer me up. And because we're in Japan, my wallet was eventually found.

Such a beautiful guest house and the rooms were big and spacious. Free breakfast offered and was able to use the kitchen facilities. The hostel itself was very quiet and relaxing and also had the best nights sleep there. Train station is a 5 minute walk to easy to get to Noashima or central Okayama.
