Set on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, Kurashiki is one of the most important industrial centers in Western Japan, but it's also an incredibly picturesque town known for its historic buildings and its peaceful canals. Most of the major tourist attractions are found in the Bikan Historical Quarter, including the 1796 Ohashi House, the Ohara Museum of Art, and the Japanese Folk Toys Museum, and there are also plenty of wonderful restaurants, cafes, art galleries, and souvenir shops. If you have enough time, you can also take an old-fashioned boat ride down the canal. Kurashiki
