The hotel's location is fantastic, very close to Okayama Station, and the area is bustling with activity for shopping and exploring. Taking the Shinkansen to other attractions is also convenient! The single beds seem to be larger single beds, making it very suitable for a family of three.

Awesome 👍 discount coupon! I chose the Kurashiki area, Okayama Castle ticket + ice cream, and the Granvia Hotel lobby coupon (1000 yen). It's a great value ticket!

Purchase the Okayama Enjoy Round Pass, which allows you to choose and use 3 facilities. This time, exchange it for an Okayama Castle Keep admission ticket + a chef's special parfait at "UJO Cafe" on the 1st floor, Hotel Granvia Okayama "lumiere", and a Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter strolling ticket. It's a great deal!

Thanks to the Conan and Momotaro tie-ins, many people visit, but compared to other castle towers, it is indeed much smaller.

Located above Okayama Station, you can easily bring your purchases back to your room and continue shopping, making transportation and shopping very convenient. The hotel lobby also has a luggage scale, so you can know how much weight allowance you have left for shopping, which really understands travelers' needs.

The 17,000 yen pass essentially pays for itself after just three or four Shinkansen rides. This time, I'm departing from Okayama and staying in Hiroshima. The Shinkansen ride from Okayama to Hiroshima is only 30 minutes. Taking a train to Okayama and then transferring to the JR line to Mitsui Outlet Park Kurashiki takes less than an hour, which is very convenient! The next part of the trip involves going to Kyushu, and Hiroshima to Hakata is only 1 hour. I recommend everyone buy it.
