    Every corner of this beautiful town looks like a picture. There are lots of cute shops, so just walking around is fun. The second photo is of a shop that sells sake, so there’s a sugidama hanging at the entrance. I tried the peach parfait at Kurashiki Momoko, which is famous for its seasonal fruit parfaits. It had a whole peach on top! The type of peach changes with the season. The parfait was big enough to share between two people. It gets crowded, but if you love fruit, I definitely recommend it.
