📍Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter|Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter is a townscape that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period. White-walled storehouses, namako walls, willow-lined riverside... it's a photogenic town where history and modernity blend together.
