    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Honmachi 7-1
    The museum is a corporate museum that tells the history of KURABO (Kurashiki Spinning Co., Ltd.), which was founded in 1888 as Kurashiki Spinning Works, and introduces the history of the company's challenges from its founding to the present day. The stately memorial hall is recognized as a registered tangible cultural property, a Heritage of Industrial Modernization, and a Heritage of Japan.

    建物は魅力的だが、展示物は興味の分かれるところ。 料金ほどの魅力は無いと感じる人もいれば、明治から昭和にかけての紡績の発展に興味があればあそれなりに面白いはず。

    午前9時からの開館で、入館料無料とありがたい。 私が少年の頃は、名人と言えば大山名人だったので、たまたま見つけたこの記念館に興味津々で訪問した。 升田名人との対局の写真の他、たくさんの写真や棋譜が展示され、将棋の勝負の緊張感を感じることができた。 記念品も販売されている。

    Okayama Kaga-gun Kibichuocho Yoshikawa 4860-6 Kibi Plaza

    建築家 黒川紀章設計の『きびプラザ』の外観に惹かれました。軽い気持ちで寄ってみたのですが、日中国交にご尽力され、経済界に大きな足跡を残された岡崎嘉平太さんの功績に魅入ってしまいました。是非、一度立ち寄ることをお勧めします。

Okayama Areas

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
