Kurashiki's beautiful historical district ~ Reappearance of ancient charm 🇯🇵

The sun shines obliquely on the Kurashiki River, rippling the river surface, willow trees swaying in the wind, and the white-walled and black-tiled Kurashiki buildings on both sides interweave to create a quiet and beautiful scene. Walking along the cobblestone streets, you can feel the nostalgic atmosphere of the city and its long history and delicate beauty everywhere. Turning into the alley, you can find many coffee shops and grocery stores that have been converted from old shops. They retain the original wooden structure but incorporate trendy designs that are eye-catching. The Kurashiki canvas and denim products sold in the store have excellent texture and unique designs, which make people take a second look. These items are not just souvenirs, but more like a part of bringing the spirit of the city back into daily life. 🏖️Atmosphere: The pace of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter is slow, and there are surprises at every turn. It not only feels the ancient atmosphere, but is also full of modern ingenuity. It is a great place to linger. 🚄From major cities Tokyo → Kurashiki Take the Tokaido Sanyo Shinkansen "Nozomi" to Okayama Station (about 3 hours and 17 minutes) Then transfer to JR Hakubi Line or Sanyo Main Line to Kurashiki Station (about 17 minutes) Osaka → Kurashiki Take the Shinkansen "Nozomi" to Okayama Station (approximately 45 minutes) Then transfer to JR Hakubi Line or Sanyo Main Line to Kurashiki Station (about 17 minutes) Okayama Airport → Kurashiki Take the airport shuttle bus directly to Kurashiki Station (about 35 minutes) 🔸 After arriving, head to the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter Exit from JR Kurashiki Station South Exit About 13 minutes on foot to reach the Kurashiki River and the Bikan Historical Quarter 🎫 Recommended transportation tickets JR Pass (National Version) Suitable for travelers traveling across multiple counties, including Shinkansen and local JR trains JR Kansai Wide Area Pass Applicable to Osaka, Kobe, Himeji, Okayama, etc., unlimited rides within 4 days JR Sanyo-San’in Area Pass The applicable scope covers Okayama, Kurashiki, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi and other places, suitable for in-depth travel in the Sanyo area
