[2025 Okayama Stay] Travel Guide for Hotel Granvia Okayama (Updated May)

The office is about 130m to the right after exiting the east exit where the Momotaro statue is. The road in front is not one-way, but there is an AEON nearby, so it can get crowded depending on the time of day. When returning the car, please enter the space in the sixth photo from the beginning. It is close to the station, so it is recommended if you are renting a car at Okayama Station. ✱----------------------------------------------- [Name] JR Station Rental Car Okayama Station Office [Location] 1-1-201 Ekimotocho, Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture [Access] 130m to the right after exiting the east exit of Okayama Station, under the Shinkansen overpass -----------------------------------------------✱ #Rental Car Information #Okayama #Station Rental Car #Domestic Travel #Tourism

I stayed here on a business trip to Okayama. It's been a while since it was built, so the exterior has deteriorated over time, but the rooms and lobby are renovated each time, so they were very clean and beautiful. I stayed here for business purposes, so I stayed in a standard room, but there are also higher-grade rooms that were renovated in 2020, so I recommend those depending on your purpose. The hotel also has an indoor pool and sauna, so if you have time, please try them out. (There is a fee for those not staying on the high floors) There are also two convenience stores below the hotel, and it is directly connected to the second floor of JR Okayama Station, so it is very convenient and has excellent value for money. I missed out on trying it this time, but the cafe on the first floor of the hotel is famous for its parfaits made with white peaches🍑, a specialty of Okayama♡ The staff are also very polite, so I can recommend it with confidence. #Business trip #Hotel #Directly connected to station #Location #Business use #Excellent access #Indoor pool #Okayama #Solo travel #Recommended for women

Of course, my first choice for this trip to Okayama was the Hotel Granvia, which is a 2-minute walk from Okayama Station. It feels so good to be right at home as soon as you exit the station. Excellent location; 2 minutes from AEON Shopping Center and 2 minutes walk from Ji'an Hall Daye Takashimaya is a 3-minute walk away, the supermarket is a 1-minute walk away, and there are 2 convenience stores! This time I went there just during Christmas; the hotel had beautiful Christmas decorations! The children also had a great performance by a wind band and enjoyed it a lot! Everyone must stay here when you come to Okayama~
