A Relaxing Trip to Kurashiki

It takes about 10 minutes on foot from Kurashiki Station to reach the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. Traditional Japanese houses line the streets, and the sound of the willow trees swaying by the river soothes the soul. There are souvenir shops and restaurants, attracting tourists from all over the country. At 10:00 AM, I visited a sweets shop called Kurashiki Momoko right as it opened and enjoyed a grape parfait. On weekdays, you can likely enter without waiting in line. At night, the main street is dimly lit by street lamps, and the alleys become completely dark, so please be cautious.
