About
Washu Blue Resort Kasago in Washu Kurashiki Onsen offers the unique distinction of being the only inn in Japan where guests can enjoy the Yamada Bee Farm honey pearl bath, with all rooms commanding spectacular views of the ocean and the 10km-long Great Seto Bridge connecting Honshu and Shikoku islands. The highlight for many visitors is the open-air bath on the highest floor of the building, where they can catch beautiful views of sunrise and sunset over the sea, though opinions vary on the condition of facilities with some praising the well-kept rooms and others noting older amenities. Guests consistently appreciate the excellent buffet meals featuring hot dishes cooked in front of them, plenty of local delicious food, and professionally selected Japanese sake, creating a romantic atmosphere that makes for a perfect break from densely populated tourist areas.
