2025 Kurashiki Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Okayama-Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, a picturesque canal district. River cruise ships, white-walled streets, willow trees and a nostalgic and quaint atmosphere are the beautiful images that the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter brings to mind. When I actually visited the place, I was surprised to find that it was so beautiful that it seemed unreal. The streets built with traditional buildings, the retro-modern buildings along the Kurashiki River, the Kurashiki Museum, Shinkei-en, the Ohara Museum of Art, the Archaeological Museum, and the Ivy Square were all fascinating. The Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter was once the political and commercial center of Kurashiki City. Many warehouses from the 19th century have been preserved and transformed into an art district full of historical atmosphere. The Kurashiki River flows through it. You can experience the fun of a cruise on the Kurashiki River for only ¥700. Kurashiki has a completely different look after dark. The night lighting designed by Kanko Ishii will light up the streets one by one from the sunset in the evening, instantly filling this nostalgic yet modern Kurashiki district with a dreamy atmosphere. #Okayama Travel #Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter

Okayama is most famous for the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter It features the appearance of a shopping street from the 19th century The Kurashiki River flows through it, and you can take a small boat ride It's a very leisurely area Spending half a day here shopping for small items, having a cup of coffee, and taking a walk is a good choice Then head straight to the World Cultural Heritage site, Himeji Castle Himeji Castle, known as Japan's number one castle, is very well preserved The entire inner castle is very spacious and impressive at first glance The main keep is easy to defend and hard to attack, with very narrow stairs It feels quite similar to the Summer Palace XD It's definitely worth visiting this castle~

#ItinerarySharing #Japan # Kurashiki Looking back on my 18-day solo trip to Japan in 2022 when the epidemic was just lifted 【journey】 Gaikikan Miyake Store → Achi Shrine → Kurashiki Bikan area → Kurashiki Ohara family residence [Transportation] If you are traveling from Osaka, take JR Shin-Osaka → Kurashiki (Okayama transfer) 【Gourmet】Kaikikan Miyake Store The exterior is a building from the Edo period, and they sell curry rice. I love curry rice, so of course I have to come here to eat it! ! When I arrived, I queued for about ten minutes and was placed at a low tatami table on the second floor where you need to take off your shoes. I ordered the Miyake Curry Set, which is limited to weekdays. In addition to curry rice, it also comes with side dishes, soup, dessert and a drink. This is quite cost-effective. The side dishes of the curry are adjusted according to the season. Overall, I think the taste is okay, not amazing. I think the chiffon cake tastes ordinary. [Attraction] Kurashiki Bikan area If it is the cool season, it is a very pleasant attraction. You can sit by the river and watch the geese swimming around. You can also go to the sightseeing center to buy a cruise ticket and experience the cruise. The buildings on both sides of the coast are Kurashikiya, with different shops nearby. There are also attractions such as the Ohara Museum of Art, the Ohashi family residence, and Achi Shrine.

I went to Kurashiki Momoko, a sweets shop located in Kurashiki, a popular tourist spot in the fruit kingdom of Okayama. This shop is so popular that five new stores have opened in the Kurashiki area in just a few years. Each store has its own original menu. I tried the Persimmon Parfait, which was introduced in early September and uses plenty of persimmons, a taste of autumn. It was surprisingly sweet and made me feel the autumn. It's only available for a limited time, so hurry!

🇯🇵 Kurashiki Bikan, an old town located in Okayama Prefecture. The atmosphere in this city is very cute. The traditional old town landscape is surrounded by nature. Most of the banks are lined with willow trees. It is quiet and beautiful. Every corner is a beautiful photo spot. The old Japanese houses have been converted into shops along both sides of the Kurashiki River. There are shops, restaurants, cafes, museums, and hotels, so tourists come and go continuously. It is also the backdrop for many famous dramas and movies. It is very well managed. The environment is well-maintained and the old town is very clean. I walked around until I forgot the time. I was very impressed. 😊 🚃 Travel: From JR Okayama Station, take the JR Sanyo Line and get off at Kurashiki Station. Walk for about 15 minutes. #kurashiki #japan #traveljapanbyyourself #sakura2024 #oldtown #japan

#freehotelstay The Royal Park Hotel is located in the center of Kurashiki and just less than 10 minutes walk from the Kurashiki Bikan Hostorical Center. The exterior of the hotel and the lobby very much followed the industrial design, with a lot of glass windows to bring ín natural lights. The lobby was cool and inviting - aside from the check in desk, there was also a bar by the entrance. Guests could get three free drinks ( although not a big glass) from the self service bar. Check in could be done via the front desk , or at the self service machine. There was also a pool table for guest use in the lobby. The rooms were new and clean, and cushions in the room used fabric that were made in Kurashiki. Bathroom was in decent size, and each room also had a free cosmetic pouch with beauty product samples for the guests. Breakfast had a good selection and was served on the top floor which commanded a panoramic view of the city. Parking was available but on a first come first serve basis, with a fee. Overall we were very pleased with this hotel and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kurashiki. #urbanexplorer #japan #kurashiki #hotelinjapan

The first day of the trip to Kansai Around 7 am to Osaka, out of the JR station directly to change the bought Jr pass, since then the farthest will go to Miko, I bought the Sanin line 20,000 yen fruit. Take the Airport Express out to Shin-Osaka, then take the Shinkansen directly to Okayama. All special express and Shinkansen have free seats. You don't need to go to reserve seats. You can enter the gate with a Jr pass. At Okayama Station to send your luggage to take the pass to Kurashiki, the whole process about 7 o'clock out of the country, around 9:30 to Kurashiki, if you get off the plane hungry recommended to buy something to eat at New Osaka Station, Japanese trains are allowed to eat. However, it is recommended not to eat too full, because there are many snacks or restaurants in the Kurashiki aesthetic area, about 10:00 11:00 to open, eat too full to go to eat 🤣🤣 Kurashiki Aesthetic Area in addition to antique, is a good place to take pictures in kimono, it is most special is a small river with a small boat can take, 500 yen per person, every half hour there are two classes up to 6 people, remember to go to the Aesthetic Area tourist customer service center to buy tickets!

The roads and small bridges along the river are the highlights of the Bikan Historical Quarter, but the alleys are also elegant and a great place to stroll. Around noon it gets bustling with tourists. If you go early in the morning there are fewer people and you can take photos without worry. I went in the fall, but I think the trees are beautiful in spring or early summer, so I'd like to go again. There is a fee for the waterside cruise, but someone wearing a happi coat will talk about Kurashiki's history, so you can enjoy Kurashiki even more. I saw that the children were having a lot of fun, so if you have children with you, it's worth joining the tour, which is only about 10 minutes.

Achi Shrine is a shrine located at the summit of Mount Tsurugata, which is in a corner of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. Because of this, you have to climb stairs to reach the shrine, but the view from the shrine is very nice ⛩️ This shrine has existed since long before the city of Kurashiki was established, and the name of the shrine, "Achi," is the ancient name of the central area of ​​Kurashiki, and it is said that it was founded more than 1,700 years ago. The main deities are the three Munakata goddesses, the guardian deities of the sea, Tagirihime-no-mikoto, Tagitsuhime-no-mikoto, and Ichikishimahime-no-mikoto. They are said to be goddesses in charge of the safety of transportation and trade, and among them, Ichikishimahime-no-mikoto is syncretized with Benzaiten and is also worshiped as the goddess of treasure, beauty, and performing arts.

#Japan Attractions #Japan Travel #Overseas Tour #Kurashiki #Okayama When traveling to Okayama, you must visit Kurashiki Beauty The area of ​​Kurashiki aesthetics is very convenient transportation, from Okayama Station to 20 minutes by car to Kurashiki Station and 8 minutes to walk. There is a canal along the road in the beautiful area of ​​Kurashiki with different views for the four seasons, there was only one red leaf when I went, but the blue sky with this view is really beautiful. It is a must-visit place for taking pictures. In addition, it is also famous for selling denim fabrics, like denim products must go, there are really many, many. So Kurashiki aesthetic area is a place for walking and leisure.

There is a very special place in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, located in Kurashiki City in the southern end. The white-walled streets along the Kurashiki River are called the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter and are a well-known tourist attraction. Japan's first Western art museum, the Ohara Museum of Art, was also founded here. The building is in neoclassical style and houses a collection of Asian and contemporary art. It is worth mentioning that the area's industrial products are very developed, with an annual output of 4 trillion yen, making it a major industrial city in Japan. It takes about 15 minutes on foot from JR Kuraku Station to reach the most popular check-in spot, Kuraku River. In the Edo period, it was a floating warehouse where supplies were transported by water. Now the old buildings have been preserved and it has become a wedding photo location for many couples. #Japanese Attractions #Water Village #Most Beautiful Scenery

Kurashiki is a very comfortable place located 30 minutes away from Okayama City by car. The canal is lined with swaying willow trees. You can take a boat and drift in the wind while looking at the scenery on both sides. It's so cool😊 On the shore is a shopping street, there is a shop specializing in handmade ceramics, the simple works are very beautiful, and they are all very small ❤️ I found a restaurant in Kurashiki. It was in a house that looked like a civilian house. A simple lunch was already full of Japanese style. #Overseas Travel #Kurashiki #Japan

The people who appear at the festival of Achi Shrine in Kurashiki wearing the masks of "Grandpa" and "Grandma" are called "Suinkyo" and it is said that if you get hit on the head by them, you will receive good fortune. I visited Kurashiki on Saturday, October 15th. Children were also wearing the masks and parading around the town. They were given gentle head pats, so I'm sure they received some kind of good fortune. The "Suinkyo" had a humorous and gentle atmosphere. #Kurashiki #KurashikiBikanDistrict #Okayama #Suinkyo #AchiShrine #AutumnTrip
