Terrific location, right on the canal, in the heart of this quaint district in Kurashiki. The meals are included, and are not to be missed. As a couple, we appreciated the private onsen. Make sure you spend a half day each at the Ohara Museum and up on the hill with the temples and shrines. We took another day to go to Himeji and back; the castle and gardens are a quick train ride away, and are both spectacular.
