Located in Kurashiki and with Mizushima Ryokuchi Fukuda Park reachable within 16 km, DENIM HOSTEL float provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar. The property is set 18 km from Tanematsuyama Park, 21 km from Shinkeien Garden and 28 km from Hashihime Inari Daimyojin Shrine.

It feels like a secret holiday house. The bath was very relaxing and you can use it privately too. The staff are very friendly, they helped providing me with alternative methods to reach the property as the direct buses stop after 7pm or so. It’s very clean and the restaurant felt very private and delicious. You can grind coffee beans in your room and read books and magazines it was a beautiful experience and design.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Very cool hostel with a hipster style. I went off season so it was too quiet and I had the whole dormitory for myself. The breakfast (egg sandwich) with coffe/tea was very good.

    Rooms are modern and extremely comfortable, if small. The moderate twin was difficult to have 2 suitcases open at once. The hotel is in a great location for exploring Kurashiki old town and taking day trip to Okayama. Restaurant offers traditional Japanese cuisine which is very tasty.

    Amazing location, cosy well designed rooms with lots of privacy and space in your "bunk" which was almost a tiny room. Very good showers and bathrooms. Friendly staff. Really nice bar downstairs though it feels separate from the rest of the hostel since you have to go out then in, so it's not like a typical hostel chill out area.

    This is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. It was in a great location, close to the station, downtown & the historic area. It was totally sound proof, spotlessly clean & tastefully decorated. The amenities were of high quality & the snacks provided were generous & varied with a focus on local produce. Lastly, the staff were delightful & were truly committed to providing an excellent service. It was a truly memorable stay in Kurashiki.
