Kurashiki (倉敷市 Kurashiki-shi) is a historic city located in western Okayama Prefecture, Japan, sitting on the Takahashi River, on the coast of the Inland Sea.
As of March 31, 2017, the city has an estimated population of 483,576 and a population density of 1,400 persons per km². The total area is 355.63 km².
The modern city of Kurashiki was founded on April 1, 1928. Previously, it was the site of clashes between the Taira and Minamoto clans during the Heian period. It gradually developed as a river port. During the Edo period, it became an area directly controlled by the shogunate. Distinctive white-walled, black-tiled warehouses were built to store goods. During the Meiji Restoration (Japan's Industrial Revolution period), factories were built, including the Ohara Spinning Mill, which still stands as the nostalgic tourist attraction Ivy Square.
On August 1, 2005, the town of Mabi (from Kibi District), and the town of Funao (from Asakuchi District) were merged with Kurashiki.
Kurashiki is the home of Japan's first museum for Western art, the Ohara Museum of Art. Established in 1930 by Magosaburō Ōhara, it contains paintings by El Greco, Monet, Matisse, Gauguin, and Renoir. The collection also presents fine examples of Asian and contemporary art. The main building is designed in the style of Neoclassicism.
The old merchant quarter is called the Bikan historical area. It contains many fine examples of 17th century wooden warehouses (kura, 倉) painted white with traditional black tiles, along a canal framed with weeping willows and filled with koi. The area has no electric poles in order to make it more closely resemble the look of the Meiji period. One of the city's former town halls was located in the Kurashiki Kan, a European style building constructed in 1917.
In 1997 a theme park called Tivoli (after the park of the same name in Copenhagen) opened near Kurashiki Station. After ten years of operation it was closed in 2008, with a massive debt.
The Great Seto Bridge connects the city to Sakaide in Kagawa Prefecture across the Inland Sea.
Kenzo Tange, winner of the 1987 Pritzker Prize for architecture, designed the former Kurashiki City Hall in 1960.

Japan Vlog - Okayama & Kurashiki Old Town · 岡山 · 倉敷
May 2016
Video recorded in May, 2016. We took a day trip from Osaka, first to Okayama and then to Kurashiki. We wanted to visit the Korakuen Garden in Okayama, and see the canal area of Kurashiki.
——
Okayama (岡山)
We took a walk from the station to Okayama castle (about 20-30 min walk), which is right next to the Korakuen Garden. Since we just got back from visiting Himeji castle we decided not to go in this time, but we took a little stroll outside.
Korakuen (後楽園)
Okayama's main attraction, Korakuen is ranked as one of Japan's three best landscape gardens. It is located just beside Okayama Castle, and from the south part of the garden you get a great view of the castle. Lucky for us there was also a beer garden event at the time, so we got some free beer. ????
Kurashiki Canal Area (old town) 倉敷
Located only 15 min by train from Okayama station. Kurashiki is most famous for the preserved canal area that dates back to the Edo Period. We walked along the beautiful canal and strolled through the streets full of souvenirs shops and cafés. Well worth the short trip from Okayama.
Miyakeshouten (三宅商店)
We stopped by this lovely little café to have some delicious ice cream and matcha cheesecake.
A lovely little day trip from Osaka ❤️

Okayama Kurashiki (Japan) One day trip
Halo video kita hari ini tentang visiting Okayama dan Kurashiki dalam satu hari. Objek wisata yang bisa di kunjungi yaitu Korakoen Garden, Okayama castle, dan Bikan chiku Kurashiki.
Korakoen garden is One of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, Okayama Korakuen is a cultural heritage site for the world to treasure.
Okayama Castle (岡山城, Okayamajō), also known as crow castle due to its black exterior, was built in 1597 in the style of the Azuchi-Momoyama Period. The original castle was destroyed in the last year of World War 2, but a reconstruction was made in 1966. The castle is located on the Asahi River, which was used as a moat. Korakuen Garden is located just across the river.
Kurashiki is located west of Okayama Prefecture's southern plains. During the Edo Period some 350 years ago, the area along the Kurashiki-gawa River was under direct control of the shogunate government and trade by boat helped the town to prosper.
The beautiful streetscape of storehouses and merchant homes south of JR Kurashiki Station was selected as an Important Traditional Structures Conservation Area by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, and it is still protected as such today as the Bikan Chiku historical area. The Ohara Museum of Art is also located here and, with its world famous collections including pieces by El Greco, Gauguin and Monet, is the first museum of western art in Japan, attracting a constant stream of visitors from both home and abroad.
In the Bikan Chiku historical area, boatmen punt two small boats a long the river where, during the daytime, visitors can enjoy a view of the riverbanks while experiencing a gondola-style boat ride, called the Kurashiki Kawabune Nagashi. When it gets dark, the streets are gently enveloped by soft illumination, making the area enjoyable at night time as well.
