Kurashiki, located in Western Japan's Okayama Prefecture, is a charming, historic city that perfectly captures the serenity and refinement of old-world Japan. Renowned for its beautifully preserved "Bikan Historical Quarter", it offers visitors a journey back in time with its characteristically white-walled merchant houses, reflective willow-lined canal, and traditional wooden warehouses known as 'kura', which have been converted to boutiques, museums, and cafes. Kurashiki is also known for the Ohara Museum, the first museum of Western art in Japan, which houses masterpieces by artists such as El Greco, Matisse, and Renoir. This traditional aesthetic combined with its rich history and culture makes Kurashiki a uniquely attractive destination for those seeking an immersive Japanese experience.
