Okayama International Hotel
The hotel room and amenities were super clean and the view from my room and the garden were spectacular. The only negative is that you have to take a taxi in and out of the hotel which is quite expensive.

This hotel is the first class hotel in Okayama. Expedia offers us the delightful accommodation fee(not a Korakuen park side room ).
