Okayama, Japan - Kurashiki Beauty: Beautiful white walls full of history and art and the pleasure of slow living with willows hanging down in the boat

2024.06 Interview

The Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter is located in the traditional townscape preservation area of Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. It is also a representative tourist attraction of Kurashiki City. In 1979, it was further listed as an important traditional building group preservation area.
Walking in the streets, you can experience the strong Japanese flavor. There are groups of people speaking Japanese in the streets, drinking American coffee with Japanese confectionery, which is a fusion of Western and Japanese flavors.
The boatman, holding a bamboo pole, introduced the beautiful history and culture of Kurashiki. He was wearing a bamboo hat. The willow trees by the river were drooping, and the white walls of the Western-style buildings and the boatman's blue denim clothes were reflected, which was very interesting.
After the lights are turned on at night, it is even more beautiful, and both day and night are full of charm~
This is a great place for lovers or family trips.
