information |
During the Edo Period, the rice harvested in the fertile regions around Kurashiki used to be stored in the city's many storehouses (kura). A number of those storehouses survive in Kurashiki's historic district, a picturesque area along a willow lined canal.
Many of the storehouses have been converted into museums, souvenir stores, boutiques and cafes. Most famous among Kurashiki's museums in the historic canal district are the Ohara Museum of Art, a Western art gallery and the Museum of Folkcraft.
Some people recommend to avoid, others to visit Kurashiki on Mondays, when most museums and stores are closed and the number of fellow tourists smaller.
