#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Okayama-Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, a picturesque canal district. River cruise ships, white-walled streets, willow trees and a nostalgic and quaint atmosphere are the beautiful images that the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter brings to mind. When I actually visited the place, I was surprised to find that it was so beautiful that it seemed unreal. The streets built with traditional buildings, the retro-modern buildings along the Kurashiki River, the Kurashiki Museum, Shinkei-en, the Ohara Museum of Art, the Archaeological Museum, and the Ivy Square were all fascinating. The Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter was once the political and commercial center of Kurashiki City. Many warehouses from the 19th century have been preserved and transformed into an art district full of historical atmosphere. The Kurashiki River flows through it. You can experience the fun of a cruise on the Kurashiki River for only ¥700. Kurashiki has a completely different look after dark. The night lighting designed by Kanko Ishii will light up the streets one by one from the sunset in the evening, instantly filling this nostalgic yet modern Kurashiki district with a dreamy atmosphere. #Okayama Travel #Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter

Okayama is most famous for the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter It features the appearance of a shopping street from the 19th century The Kurashiki River flows through it, and you can take a small boat ride It's a very leisurely area Spending half a day here shopping for small items, having a cup of coffee, and taking a walk is a good choice Then head straight to the World Cultural Heritage site, Himeji Castle Himeji Castle, known as Japan's number one castle, is very well preserved The entire inner castle is very spacious and impressive at first glance The main keep is easy to defend and hard to attack, with very narrow stairs It feels quite similar to the Summer Palace XD It's definitely worth visiting this castle~

Here is a course for a full day of sightseeing in Okayama 💁♀️ Fly to Okayama on the first flight in the morning ✈️ 9:30-10:20 Take a shuttle bus from the airport to Kurashiki 🚌 10:30 Walk to the Bikan Historical Quarter 🏞️ Enjoy the quaint scenery of white-walled storehouses and rows of willow trees! At the nearby Denim Street, you can enjoy blue meat buns and juice. It's a pretty unique color, but it tastes very delicious. I also wanted to go to the Ohara Museum of Art, but it was closed that day for changing exhibits. . Make sure to check the website before heading there 🚶 I was able to see the souvenir shop, so I was able to get a feel for the atmosphere and what kind of paintings were on display 🖼️ 13:00 Take a short break at a coffee shop near the Bikan Historical Quarter 14:00-14:20 Take a bus from Okayama Station to Korakuen 🚌 One of the three largest gardens in Japan. I was surprised that the garden was larger than I imagined. Every corner is well-maintained, the large lawn is very green, and the flowing stream is also very beautiful. I was impressed by this view where you can see Okayama Castle in the background. Depending on the time, you can join a free guided tour, so if you want to know more, I recommend coming at the right time. 15:00 Okayama Castle 🏯 I didn't go inside this time, but you can visit it by crossing the bridge from Korakuen. It was nice to see it from Korakuen, but it was quite large and impressive up close. 15:30 Menshu Isshoan Okayama Main Store One of the ramen that represents Okayama. I heard that there is a line at this restaurant, but I was able to get a seat right away at this time. The light soup was packed with the flavor of seafood and was very delicious 🍜 17:45-19:30 Drive to Mizushima Petrochemical Complex 🚗 We took a car share to the observation deck where you can see the beautiful Mizushima Petrochemical Complex. I took a wrong turn on the way and missed the magic hour, but the night view of the factories spreading out before me was very beautiful 🌃 I was supposed to return it at 18:45, but I got lost and the traffic was very busy at that time, so I was quite late. If you are traveling by car, I recommend that you plan your trip with plenty of time! 19:49 Departure Train to Uno 🚃 21:12 Arrival at Uno Hotel I was planning to visit Naoshima the next day, so I stayed at a hotel near Uno Port, and my sightseeing in Okayama came to an end. I think this plan is something you can enjoy quite a lot in one day, so I hope it will be the best for you ☺️

This time, it was a day trip, so we didn't have much time, but we were able to enjoy the facilities more than enough!

#ItinerarySharing #Japan # Kurashiki Looking back on my 18-day solo trip to Japan in 2022 when the epidemic was just lifted 【journey】 Gaikikan Miyake Store → Achi Shrine → Kurashiki Bikan area → Kurashiki Ohara family residence [Transportation] If you are traveling from Osaka, take JR Shin-Osaka → Kurashiki (Okayama transfer) 【Gourmet】Kaikikan Miyake Store The exterior is a building from the Edo period, and they sell curry rice. I love curry rice, so of course I have to come here to eat it! ! When I arrived, I queued for about ten minutes and was placed at a low tatami table on the second floor where you need to take off your shoes. I ordered the Miyake Curry Set, which is limited to weekdays. In addition to curry rice, it also comes with side dishes, soup, dessert and a drink. This is quite cost-effective. The side dishes of the curry are adjusted according to the season. Overall, I think the taste is okay, not amazing. I think the chiffon cake tastes ordinary. [Attraction] Kurashiki Bikan area If it is the cool season, it is a very pleasant attraction. You can sit by the river and watch the geese swimming around. You can also go to the sightseeing center to buy a cruise ticket and experience the cruise. The buildings on both sides of the coast are Kurashikiya, with different shops nearby. There are also attractions such as the Ohara Museum of Art, the Ohashi family residence, and Achi Shrine.

I went to Kurashiki Momoko, a sweets shop located in Kurashiki, a popular tourist spot in the fruit kingdom of Okayama. This shop is so popular that five new stores have opened in the Kurashiki area in just a few years. Each store has its own original menu. I tried the Persimmon Parfait, which was introduced in early September and uses plenty of persimmons, a taste of autumn. It was surprisingly sweet and made me feel the autumn. It's only available for a limited time, so hurry!

🇯🇵 Kurashiki Bikan, an old town located in Okayama Prefecture. The atmosphere in this city is very cute. The traditional old town landscape is surrounded by nature. Most of the banks are lined with willow trees. It is quiet and beautiful. Every corner is a beautiful photo spot. The old Japanese houses have been converted into shops along both sides of the Kurashiki River. There are shops, restaurants, cafes, museums, and hotels, so tourists come and go continuously. It is also the backdrop for many famous dramas and movies. It is very well managed. The environment is well-maintained and the old town is very clean. I walked around until I forgot the time. I was very impressed. 😊 🚃 Travel: From JR Okayama Station, take the JR Sanyo Line and get off at Kurashiki Station.

#freehotelstay The Royal Park Hotel is located in the center of Kurashiki and just less than 10 minutes walk from the Kurashiki Bikan Hostorical Center. The exterior of the hotel and the lobby very much followed the industrial design, with a lot of glass windows to bring ín natural lights. The lobby was cool and inviting - aside from the check in desk, there was also a bar by the entrance. Guests could get three free drinks ( although not a big glass) from the self service bar. Check in could be done via the front desk , or at the self service machine. There was also a pool table for guest use in the lobby. The rooms were new and clean, and cushions in the room used fabric that were made in Kurashiki. Bathroom was in decent size, and each room also had a free cosmetic pouch with beauty product samples for the guests. Breakfast had a good selection and was served on the top floor which commanded a panoramic view of the city. Parking was available but on a first come first serve basis, with a fee.

The first day of the trip to Kansai Around 7 am to Osaka, out of the JR station directly to change the bought Jr pass, since then the farthest will go to Miko, I bought the Sanin line 20,000 yen fruit. Take the Airport Express out to Shin-Osaka, then take the Shinkansen directly to Okayama. All special express and Shinkansen have free seats. You don't need to go to reserve seats. You can enter the gate with a Jr pass. At Okayama Station to send your luggage to take the pass to Kurashiki, the whole process about 7 o'clock out of the country, around 9:30 to Kurashiki, if you get off the plane hungry recommended to buy something to eat at New Osaka Station, Japanese trains are allowed to eat. However, it is recommended not to eat too full, because there are many snacks or restaurants in the Kurashiki aesthetic area, about 10:00 11:00 to open, eat too full to go to eat 🤣🤣 Kurashiki Aesthetic Area in addition to antique, is a good place to take pictures in kimono, it is most special is a small river with a small boat can take, 500 yen per person, every half hour there are two classes up to 6 people, remember to go to the Aesthetic Area tourist customer service center to buy tickets!

The roads and small bridges along the river are the highlights of the Bikan Historical Quarter, but the alleys are also elegant and a great place to stroll. Around noon it gets bustling with tourists. If you go early in the morning there are fewer people and you can take photos without worry. I went in the fall, but I think the trees are beautiful in spring or early summer, so I'd like to go again. There is a fee for the waterside cruise, but someone wearing a happi coat will talk about Kurashiki's history, so you can enjoy Kurashiki even more. I saw that the children were having a lot of fun, so if you have children with you, it's worth joining the tour, which is only about 10 minutes.

Achi Shrine is a shrine located at the summit of Mount Tsurugata, which is in a corner of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. Because of this, you have to climb stairs to reach the shrine, but the view from the shrine is very nice ⛩️ This shrine has existed since long before the city of Kurashiki was established, and the name of the shrine, "Achi," is the ancient name of the central area of ​​Kurashiki, and it is said that it was founded more than 1,700 years ago. The main deities are the three Munakata goddesses, the guardian deities of the sea, Tagirihime-no-mikoto, Tagitsuhime-no-mikoto, and Ichikishimahime-no-mikoto. They are said to be goddesses in charge of the safety of transportation and trade, and among them, Ichikishimahime-no-mikoto is syncretized with Benzaiten and is also worshiped as the goddess of treasure, beauty, and performing arts.

The beauty of Kurashiki's streets is a given, but you should definitely take your time to explore the Ohara Museum of Art. In addition to world-famous paintings such as Monet's Water Lilies and El Greco's Annunciation, the paintings by Kojima Torajiro, influenced by impressionism, are a must-see.

I stayed at the Blue Quad Hotel, a container hotel in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture! When I went inside, it was spacious and very comfortable! The amenities were buffet style, and I was given a free loaf of bread. There was a supermarket and a drugstore nearby, so the location was great! Parking was also free. If you're visiting Kurashiki, be sure to stay here! #Okayama #Kurashiki #Blu Quad Hotel
