Old Town Kurashiki is Beautiful!!! 15 min walk from Kurashiki Station. You can also take a bus for about ¥210. Great as a half day trip from Okayama (30-40 mins by train). Super easy to get to. Walk along the river and enjoy the scenery. Old Town has many great shops and food stalls. Was full of beautiful ladies in their kimonos taking photos. Absolutely stunning! You can also find different themed cafes like the owl cafe and cat cafe. They also have other animal theme cafes.

Achi Shrine

Reviewed By 380lachieg

We avoided the 200 steps on the South side and walked a gentle path up from the Kurashiki station side. Clearly not a memorial but a living shrine in use. Buildings are many, the views pretty good, the experience absolutely worthwhile

Kurashiki Ekimae Tourist Information Center

Reviewed By Rumples - Tucson, United States

We came to Kurashiki by train from Okayama so looked for a tourist information office nearby. This one proved to be just to the right after exiting the station and was well marked. Only one woman sat at the desk. She greeted us with a nice smile, spoke excellent English and proved to be extremely helpful. All questions that we raised got answered to our satisfaction, and she gave us maps and brochures in English. The racks held additional material in English as well as other languages. We wanted to explore the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Area, so she gave us an excellent walking map, along with careful instructions on how to get there on foot. For those with luggage, this center has lockers. It also offers Wi-Fi.
