Kurashiki

Kurashiki is a very old, historical town that has many beautiful and old buildings in it.

I went to Bikanchiku which is the historical part of the town. On the way to Bikanchiku, I spotted the most peculiar-looking building. It was so thin and skinny and strange, so I had to take a photo of it. What do you think?

Bikanchiku was really beautiful. We saw a canal which ran all the way through the area.


We also saw a souvenir shop which sold things from Australia!

It was so strange to see a shop which sold Australian goods! It definitely caught our attention.

There was a really cool, old-looking Japanese boat which was taking people for a ride down the canal.

It was really interesting to watch and it looked so nice floating down the canal.

When the owners of the boat were resting, Tina took this really cool photo of the men with their traditional hats sitting beside their boat.


This was one of the many beautiful buildings within Bikenchiku. I really like this one because I think lots of detail would have gone into its design.


This is Steve, Tina, me and Lauren sitting by the canal in Bikenchiku.
