A Slow-Paced Day in Kurashiki – Where Tradition Meets Modern Charm

#cityplaybook

Kurashiki is one of those places where you can truly slow down and soak in the beauty of Japan’s past and present. The perfect mix of culture, shopping, and seasonal lights makes it a lovely day trip destination.

Start your day in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, where white-walled buildings and old canals create the dreamiest atmosphere. Whether you’re taking photos or just strolling, it’s easy to lose track of time here.

Next, head to the Mitsui Outlet Park Kurashiki—great for grabbing a few stylish finds or just enjoying a casual walk among shops and cafés.

As the sun sets, don’t miss the illumination at Kurashiki Mirai Park. The soft lights reflecting on the water create a magical end to the day.

Why I recommend Kurashiki:
・The town blends classic beauty and modern fun in a walkable space
・Perfect for a relaxing, photo-worthy escape from the busy city

📍Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan
