Hotel Sakushu Musashi, located in a place associated with Miyamoto Musashi
Hotel Sakushu Musashi is conveniently 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. This area is also known as the birthplace of the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Once you pass through the hotel's entrance gate, you'll see the golf course, the view from the hilltop, and the clear air, which further enhances the winter resort atmosphere.
Relax with a welcome coffee at Cafe Matsunoha
After checking in, we were given a welcome coffee at the hotel's cafe, Matsunoha. You can enjoy self-service drip coffee, Shizuoka tea, cocoa, and soft drinks. From the large atrium windows, you can see the beautiful sunset over the golf course, which helped to soothe the fatigue of driving. There is also a kids' space and picture books, so even those with small children can enjoy themselves comfortably.
Free yukata rental service
The hotel offers a free yukata rental service, perfect for women. There are a wide variety of sizes and brightly colored yukatas available. There are also a variety of geta sandals available, so I tried them out right away.
They also have yukatas for children; the dress-type for girls was very cute, and the pajama-style for boys looked 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, which even adults will find themselves wanting to buy.
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, equipped with tripods that you can use 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. It was a luxurious location with a view of the golf course and 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
I enjoyed the hot spring before dinner. The baths were spacious and clean, and there was also a sauna. For women only, there was a DHC series shampoo bar, and it was nice to be able to choose the shampoo and conditioner that suited my hair type.
The open-air bath is an alkaline simple hot spring that is gentle on the skin and is said to be effective in relieving neuralgia, muscle pain, chronic digestive diseases, poor circulation, 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 in one place, and you'll be very satisfied with the quality and volume!
・Freshly boiled crab and butter-fried scallops cooked on a hot plate right in front of you
・Crispy, freshly fried tempura
・Rice cooked with crab and warabi mochi and fruit for dessert
There is also an all-you-can-drink option, and one of the highlights is being able to enjoy non-alcoholic sodas made with peaches and grapes from Okayama Prefecture.
Old-fashioned game corner
Near the hot springs, there is a nostalgic games corner, a tatami space where you can enjoy playing Go, and massage chairs. It's a space where you can easily stay for a while after your bath.
Breakfast buffet
Breakfast is a buffet with a wide variety of Japanese and Western dishes. Particularly popular is the area where you can grill your own fish over charcoal. I spent a relaxing morning looking 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 right next to the Sakushu Musashi Country Club, and you can see the beautiful green from the guest rooms. There is also a golf accommodation package available, so it is the perfect environment for those who want to enjoy golf.
