We recently visited Kurashiki.
Per Google: Kurashiki is a city on Japan’s Seto Inland Sea. It’s known for the centuries-old buildings and shops of the Bikan Historical Quarter. Boats cruise the district’s narrow central canal.
Let's check it out!
Students volunteer to be tour guides.
One of the main attractions is the canal that runs through the middle of the town.
It's a long story but the bottom line is that the ceramic roof tiles on this structure cost a fortune.
The town is full of narrow streets like this one.
The post tops of this stone bride are adorned with Chrysanthemums.
Our tour guide.
He's making a point.
The tour boat has arrived!
Another narrow street.
The boat tour looks like fun but we didn't have time to do it.
This town is very picturesque.
Another stone bridge.
Time for the boatmen to take a coffee break.
Last shot of our Kurashiki visit: A charming young lady wearing a beautiful kimono.
All images were made with a Fujifilm X100V camera.
Thanks for stopping by!
