Hotel Sakushu Musashi, located in a place associated with Miyamoto Musashi
Hotel Sakushu Musashi is attractive for its easy access, located about 1 hour and 30 minutes by car from the center of Okayama City and about 10 minutes from the Mimasaka Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway. The area is also known as the birthplace of the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Once you pass through the hotel's entrance gate, you'll find a golf course, a view from the hilltop, and clear air, all of which further enhance the winter resort atmosphere.
Relax with a welcome coffee at the Matsunoha Cafe
After checking in, we were greeted with a welcome coffee at the hotel's cafe, Matsunoha. Authentic drip coffee, Shizuoka tea, cocoa, and soft drinks are available for self-service. The large atrium windows offered a beautiful view of the sunset over the golf course, providing a moment to soothe the fatigue of driving. There's also a kids' space and picture books, making it a comfortable place for families with small children.
Free yukata rental service
The hotel offers a free yukata rental service, perfect for women. They have a Toyotomi of sizes and brightly colored yukatas. They also have a wide variety of geta sandals, so I tried some out.
They also have yukatas for children, with the dress-style yukatas for girls looking very cute and the pajama-style yukatas for boys looking very comfortable.
Extensive facilities and souvenir corner
The lobby on the first floor has a high ceiling and a spacious, open feel. There is a space where you can relax while reading the newspaper, a sales corner for Elliotti pine (Marathosh pine), a specialty of Okayama and Mimasaka, bicycle rentals, tennis courts, and other facilities that both adults and children can enjoy.
There is also a candy store inside the building, with a wide selection of nostalgic snacks such as Umaibo, making it an irresistible lineup even for adults.
The souvenir corner is lined with local Okayama specialties and Kibi dango, perfect as a memento of your trip.
Photo spots and spacious rooms
There is a photo spot in the lobby with tripods that can be used freely. If you post a photo on social media with a hashtag, you can win coins for the candy gacha machine on the floor.
The room I stayed in was a spacious two-room suite with a panoramic view of the golf course and a luxurious location where I could enjoy the sunset. The same drip coffee and Shizuoka tea as in the cafe was provided in the room, allowing me to spend a relaxing time.
Sakushu Musashi Onsen: A natural hot spring with many beneficial effects
Before dinner, I enjoyed the hot spring. The bathhouse was spacious and clean, and there was also a sauna. There was a DHC shampoo bar available for women only, so I was happy to be able to choose the shampoo and conditioner that suited my hair type.
The open-air bath is a simple alkaline hot spring that is gentle on the skin and is said to be effective for relieving neuralgia, muscle pain, chronic digestive diseases, sensitivity to cold, and fatigue.
Winter Luxury Meal: Crab x Japanese Black Beef x Sashimi
Even within Okayama Prefecture, it's rare to find a plan that allows you to enjoy crab, Japanese Black beef, and fresh sashimi all at once, and you'll be very satisfied with the quality and volume!
・Freshly boiled crab and butter-grilled scallops cooked on a hot plate right in front of you
・Crispy, freshly fried tempura
・Crab rice with bracken-starch dumplings and fruit for dessert
There is also an all-you-can-drink plan, and one of the highlights is that you can enjoy non-alcoholic soda made with peaches and grapes from Okayama Prefecture.
Nostalgic game corner
Near the hot springs, there is a nostalgic game corner, a tatami space where you can enjoy playing Go, and massage chairs. It's a space where you'll find yourself lingering for a while after your soak in the hot springs.
Breakfast buffet
Breakfast is a buffet with a Toyotomi variety of Japanese and Western dishes. Particularly popular was the area where you could grill your own fish over charcoal. I spent a relaxing morning gazing out the window at the golf course. They also serve Costa Coffee, which is popular in Europe, a great service for coffee lovers.
Sakushu Musashi Country Club
The hotel is located right next to the Sakushu Musashi Country Club, and you can see the beautiful green from your room. They also offer a golf package, making it the perfect place for those who want to enjoy golf.
