This time we will introduce you to the following! Okayama Prefecture, "Kurashiki Ivy Square & Bikan Historical Quarter" Ivy Square is actually a hotel 💁♀️ The Bikan Historical Quarter is right next to it ✨ Ivy Square is a hotel that was renovated from a brick 🧱 spinning factory, and guests can park for free all day and enter and exit as they like, making it a very reasonable and reasonable deal 👏 The red bricks with ivy entangled in them are classic, and it is a popular photo spot 🫶 The lights are on at night, making it even more beautiful ✨ Even if you are not staying overnight, you can use the shops and cafes ☕️ inside, which is nice ☺️ Also, the Bikan Historical Quarter is right next to it, so it is perfect for eating your way around! It's a place similar to Arashiyama in Kyoto, Komachi-dori in Kamakura, Yufuin in Oita, and Okage Yokocho in Mie. 🦋
The Bikan district is a spot where you can enjoy the quaint scenery, such as white-walled storehouses, namako walls, and willow-lined streets. 📍
The townscape created by traditional buildings, the retro-modern scenery along the Kurashiki River, and the stylish cafes and shops lined up in renovated townhouses make it a place where you won't get bored even if you spend a whole day strolling around. 😆🎉
This time I visited: ☑ Ozakiya (3rd photo)

Long Chofu 🌯 💰 400 yen
Okayama specialty The inside is made of chewy, bar-shaped rice cake (gyuhi) wrapped in thin, sweet, crispy castella dough!
I've always loved it❤️Recommended😋
☑ Yurin-an Okayama Rare Wagyu Beef Shop (bottom left, 4th photo)
Roast beef nigiri🥩 💰2 pieces 800 yen
This is available everywhere, and it's consistently delicious🤤✨

I guess it's cheaper than other prefectures? !
The average price in other prefectures is around 1000 yen💦
☑ Bikan-do (top left, 4th photo)
・Okayama white peach🍑soft cream🍦
💰730 yen
・Peach🍑juice🥤
💰700 yen
Honestly, the reviews say it's expensive!! And the taste was... 😅
The drink was about the size of a small size and not very cold 😂
Also, the peach 🍑 was so thin and not tasty? I thought that 💦💦
The soft serve ice cream wasn't particularly tasty either, it just had a slight peach flavor 💦
Sorry 🙏 I don't recommend it at all 😂
☑ Gold Award Croquette Kurashiki Store (4th photo, top right)
・Gold Award Croquette 💰200 yen
・Cheese Dog Ketchup Mustard Sugar 💰600 yen
Insanely delicious 😋! And there was a line 💦 The turnover rate was fast ✨
Both were delicious, but the simple croquette was delicious!
The only thing I thought about getting a second serving 🤤💨
Please try it ✨✨
Honestly, there were still many things I wanted to try in the Bikan area,
but I arrived late and I was full... 😂🍑💭
I'd like to try it again! ✊✨
