Ario Kurashiki is right next to JR Kurashiki Station and adjacent to Mitsui Outlet Park Kurashiki, making it very convenient to get to. The mall brings together all kinds of stores, including clothing, household goods, restaurants, and a supermarket, so you can shop and eat all in one place. The most eye-catching feature is the large clock tower in the central plaza. It chimes every hour, making it a distinctive feature of the mall and a convenient landmark for meeting up with friends.

Nakanoshima
Nakanoshima is a lush, green and iconic city area known for Aqua Metropolis Osaka that’s tucked between the Dojima and Tosabori Rivers. Home to one of Osaka’s known business districts, the area is lined with a mixture of skyscrapers, modern architecture and office buildings.
中之島不只是大阪市中心的水岸景點，更是大阪早期發展的重要舞台。江戶時代這裡就是繁榮的米市與物流中心，商人聚集、物資往來頻繁，奠定大阪「天下廚房」的地位。走在今天的中之島，古典建築與河岸景色交織，也能感受到大阪從昔日商業重鎮一路發展至現代城市的歷史軌跡。

The Osaka Museum of Housing and Living
Japan’s first museum, specialized on the history and culture of life, was opened in April 2001. You can learn about housing and how people lived during Edo, Meiji, Taisho and Showa Periods.
If you want to experience life in Osaka during the Edo period, take a trip to the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living! With models, streetscapes, and interactive exhibits, it recreates the streets of Edo-period Osaka and makes you feel as if you’ve instantly traveled back more than 200 years. The most fun part is that you can also rent a yukata and wander through the old-fashioned streets in traditional clothing for a real “time travel” role-playing experience! The scenes inside also change with the time, shifting from day to night along with the atmosphere of the streets, which makes taking photos a lot of fun. Rather than simply visiting a museum, this feels more like a historical experience you can take part in yourself. It’s great for families with children or anyone who enjoys taking photos~

GariGarikun Soda
Japan’s classic ice treat, GariGarikun Soda, is a simple yet exceptionally well-crafted frozen treat made with soda-flavored ice on the outside and crunchy shaved ice on the inside. Its defining feature is this two-layer structure, with outer ice and inner shaved ice, allowing you to enjoy two different textures in one bar. Along with its refreshing soda flavor, it is also a long-selling product that has been loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults, for many years.
A classic nostalgic Japanese ice pop, with a refreshing blue appearance that feels just like summer. It has a light soda aroma when you take a bite, and it’s icy without being overly sweet, making it very refreshing. The ice pop has a crisp texture, and enjoying the soda flavor as you eat brings back the simple joy of having frozen treats as a child. Having one on a scorching summer day is cooling and comforting, and it’s perfect for anyone who likes nostalgic Japanese snacks.
