Kurashiki
Naoshima Art Island
Today we recommend a day trip to Kurashiki, a city famous for its
quaint canals, historical arts and districts lined with traditional shops and galleries.
From Okayama Station board the JR Sanyo Honsen Line train to Kurashiki Station. (15 min)
Upon arrival in Kurashiki, walk 15 minutes from the South Exit to the Arts and Culture Precinct (Bikan Chiku), where you will find several dozen old-style houses which have been converted into museums, craft shops and cafes. These are located along a quaint, tree-lined canal in the historic arts and culture district.
Some places of interest in Kurashiki include the following (all found within the ‘Bikan Chiku’ area):
Kurashiki Museum of Folkcraft (09:00 – 17:00/JPY700) - consists of three two-storied rice granaries re-styled into Edo Period museums. Some 4,000 folk-craft objects are shown, including ceramics, rugs, fancy mats, wooden ware, bamboo ware, textiles and other products from Japan and other countries.
Kurashiki Archaeological Museum (09:00 – 17:00/JPY400) – Opened in 1950, this white-walled storehouse exhibits more than 1,400 archaeological relics unearthed in this district.
Ohara House – with its white walls and unique Kurashiki-style windows and latticework, this classic example of a Kurashiki merchant house is still in its original state.
Japan Toy Museum (09:00 – 17:00/JPY400) – exhibits rural toys from around Japan dating back to 1603
Wander through this historical city on foot, taking in the beautiful townscape.
