    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Nishinakashinden 669

    美観地区の周りは駐車場が少なく、さらにお高い。 ここ倉敷市歴史民俗資料館は倉敷市役所と共用の無料駐車場が使えます。観光繁忙期は市役所駐車場から美観地区までの無料送迎バスも運行されています。美観地区への駐車場所として穴場です。 倉敷市歴史民俗資料館は歴史を感じさせる建物で、明治以降に実際に小学校などで使われた教科書や教材が展示されており、特にご高齢の方は懐かしさを味わえるのではないでしょうか。 美観...

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.
