Discover KURASHIKI Japan's Treasure Trove of Retro Townscapes

In the middle of winter, we explored Kurashiki, Okayama, which boasts a classic atmosphere and stunning inland sea. One of the city’s main attractions is the Bikan Historical Quarter, a beautifully preserved area featuring traditional wooden buildings, narrow streets, and waterways lined with weeping willows. Additionally, the Kojima area offers a beautiful coastline, providing an excellent view of the Seto Ohashi Bridge.

Having grown up in a city neighboring Kurashiki (called Fukuyama), I have always admired the peaceful atmosphere and mild climate of the region. In this video, I will showcase the beauty of Kurashiki using great camera gear. Enjoy!
