Experience of the stay
My memorable first stay at HafH was here.
It is a conveniently located hotel directly connected to the station, making it easy to find.
It's a large local hotel with an upscale atmosphere, including wedding venues.
There's a shopping mall "Sunst Okayama" in the station building and Aeon Mall (one of the largest in Western Japan), so you won't have trouble with shopping or souvenir selection.
There are plenty of restaurants nearby as well.
The night view from the high floors was beautiful!
Since I stayed on a weekday, I also saw many businessmen using it for business trips.
The facility had a calm atmosphere, a sense of cleanliness, and was comfortable to stay in.
Being close to the station and the absence of shopping worries made for a perfect hotel stay.
Experiences during the trip
Okayama has a lot to see!
This time, I used JAL's "Somewhere with Miles" to fly into Okayama Airport.
My main purpose was to watch a performance at the Botchan Theatre in Ehime, and since I only stayed one night on my way to Ehime via Okayama, I honestly didn't have any special reason to be there, but I found Okayama Castle, Korakuen, and the Yumeji Art Museum to be filled with attractions!
It was just around the time when the historical drama "How to Deal with Ieyasu" was in full swing, so there was also a talk show on the day I was sightseeing.
I thought it was a city with charm, whether for sightseeing or living, with sunny weather, trams, and fruits.
On the second day, I took an express bus from Okayama Station's bus terminal to Matsuyama in Ehime.
In addition to the performance at the Botchan Theatre, I visited Dogo Onsen via Iyotetsu and tried the famous Jako-ten that had also been in the news (laughs).
To return, I took a limited express from JR Matsuyama Station back to Okayama.
It became a good memory to cross the Seto Ohashi with different routes on the way in and out.
After returning to Okayama, I ended my trip with a fruit parfait at a café.
Oh, and of course, taking photos at Momotaro in front of Okayama Station is a must!
