とりいくぐる Torii-kuguru

Such a lovely place to stay in Okayama. Check in process was super easy thanks to the lovely Mima who contacted us beforehand and was there to great us when we arrived. We were even able to store our luggage before check in. We booked a private room for 2 people and ended up with a big room full of bunk beds just for ourselves which was great. The beds aren't the most comfortable though as the mattress is really thin and the room we had let in a lot of light and noise from the street. Would still recommend this place to stay though as we really enjoyed it.

Run by the nicest couple, very friendly and open. I stayed here for a longer period of time and it was great. Amazingly clean and very cozy. Definitely recommend!

Torii-kuguru Hostel is an original and fascinating place located near Okayama station. An old tori gate welcomes you in a cozy japanese-style building where you can comfortably rest, read a book or cook your own meal in the shared kitchen. Torii-kuguru staff is also very kind and will give you any information to help you visit Okayama surroundings (especially Naoshima). If you want to experience a very japanese stay, this is definitely the right place for you.

I liked the traditional style of the interior. Everything is very well mantained. There is a fully equipped kitchen for cooking and coffee and tea for free. The owner was super friendly, explained all the rules in good English. The house is very old with thin walls, you can hear when a person is taking shower in the next room. When I arrived, there were only a few people staying, so it wasn't a big deal.

Fantastic inn. Great price, great location, all you need, even laundry, at very low price. I shared the bedroom with a few other young girls and I had no problem at all. Shared toilets and showers but very very clean. Great and very respectful environment. Wonderful place. If you are very picky though and you just can't stand sharing it might not be a place for you.
