The traditional streets of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter feature white walled warehouses, grid pattern walls, Namako-kabe, and rows of weeping trees, creating a beautiful and charming townscape. This harmonious and historic scenery is very popular with tourists.

This interesting area is home to the first private Western art museum in Japan, the Ohara Museum of Art. And you won’t want to miss the nearby beautiful tourism complex, Kurashiki Ivy Square, a reproduction of factory facilities from the Meiji period.

Also, you can browse through an array of fashionable shops that offer Kurashiki Canvas and Kurashiki Denim, the city’s new brand. For a rest, there are several lovely cafes renovated from traditional townhouses.
For the adventurous, you can explore the town from a small traditional boat or rickshaw!

    若杭州西湖有讓人感到中國古代沿岸柳樹枝與河流小船互相呼應醉人場景,那倉敷美觀地區就是日劇古代場景代表,隨便拍都美,像是明信片般美麗!

    美しい街並みはどこを切り取っても絵になります。可愛いお店もたくさんあって、お散歩するだけでも楽しいです。2枚目の写真は日本酒を取り扱っているお店なので店の軒先に杉玉が飾ってあります。季節のフルーツパフェが人気のくらしき桃子で大きな桃をまるまる1個乗っている桃のパフェをいただきました。季節によって桃の種類が変わるそうですよ。2人でシェアしてもちょうどいいくらいのボリュームでした。混んでいますが、フルーツ好きにはおすすめです。
