Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, once the political and commercial heart of Kurashiki, is now a quaint precinct with converted merchant storehouses that play host to boutiques, cafes and museums. 🏚
Impossibly picturesque with canals and stone-tiled streets, the district offers the quintessential Japanese experience with a mix of feudal-era and Western-style buildings. Soak up the ambience further by taking a boat trip along willow-lined Kurashiki River and watch as the white-washed storehouses and wooden townhouses pass slowly by. The town is easily explored on foot, and not far from shinkansen lines and western Japan’s regional hub Okayama. #VisitJapanAU #Cities
