[Okayama Trip] Morning is the best time to visit the scenic area!

I visited Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter for the first time in several years.

The number of foreign tourists has increased in recent years, and many new shops have opened, so the area has changed a bit since then.

Since I was staying overnight, I knew I had to go in the morning to take photos. When I got there before 9:00 AM, the shops were still closed, so it was quiet and comfortable.

Reservations for the Kurashiki Riverboat ride start at 9:00 AM, and by 9:00 AM, there were about 20 people lined up!
If you want a quieter time to ride, I recommend going before 9:00 AM! Tickets were sold out by around 4:00 PM.

It's not that large, so you can explore it in about an hour.

It's a good idea to wake up a little earlier to take photos and do some sightseeing.
