Offbeat Japan| Half-day tour in Kurashiki

|Half-day tour in Kurashiki. 💫During the National Day holiday, travel to Kansai, Japan, after visiting Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe, why not go further west to visit Kurashiki in Okayama Prefecture. 🚎Kurashiki is a ten-minute drive from Okayama City. Generally, when traveling to Okayama, half a day or a day is reserved for it. 🌿The Bikan area can't say there are any iconic attractions, but it's quite comfortable to stroll around leisurely. ✨I was amazed by the beautiful water town style of the Bikan area. The atmosphere of the Edo period also left a deep impression. So much so that when I later saw the white-walled buildings with stone bridges and small rivers in the Edo period films, I thought they were filmed in Kurashiki~ I went again at night to see the lighting event and the silhouette play 'Spring Night Years'. 🛶Take a boat tour of the Kurashiki River, and see several newlyweds, which is also a unique sight~ - 🖼If you like to visit art galleries, the Ohara Museum of Art has a collection of works by many great artists such as Monet, Rodin, Picasso, etc. There are also Kurashiki Toy Museum, Safe Museum, Archaeological Museum, Insect Museum, Japanese Folk Toy Museum, etc. - 🛍Walk around and shop, there are many shops where you can find denim clothing and products, because the Kojima area of Kurashiki is the birthplace of Japanese denim~ This is also the birthplace of washi tape, with several stationery stores. 🐱Friends who like kittens and Shugo can go to see the Dog and Cat House, all of which are related products. Nearby there are Shiba Inu Coffee, Cat Coffee and Owl Coffee! - 🍨Food recommendation: Okayama is famous for its peaches, don't miss it when you see white peaches! 🍑Kurashiki's dessert shop Kurashiki Peach has four branches, each with a different limited parfait, but both the appearance and taste are good~ It is said that blue is a color that reduces appetite... but there are blue ice cream and buns here, do you want to try it? - 🏠Although there are several hotels and inns in front of Kurashiki Station and in the Bikan area, I personally think it is more convenient to choose Okayama for accommodation. 🚎Transportation: Take the train from Okayama Station to Kurashiki Station, and walk to the Bikan area for about ten minutes.
