How to Get to Kurashiki from Osaka?

Travel from Osaka to Kurashiki primarily uses trains. First, head from Shin-Osaka Station to Okayama Station by Shinkansen.

If you have a Japan Rail Pass, we recommend using "Hikari" or "Sakura." You can board without additional charges, and the travel time is approximately 45-50 minutes. Reserved seats can also be booked for free.

Once you arrive at Okayama Station, transfer to the JR Sanyo Line, and you'll reach Kurashiki Station in about 15 minutes.

Bus travel is not highly recommended as it takes longer compared to direct train service and involves complex transfers.

Kurashiki is an attractive place with beautiful streets that make you feel as if you've traveled back in time to old Japan. Particularly, the area called "Bikan Historical Quarter" features white-walled houses built during the Edo period (1603-1868) and retro buildings from the Taisho period (1912-1926), captivating visitors.

Furthermore, Kurashiki is also a cultural city. It houses the Ohara Museum of Art, which was the first in Japan to exhibit Western art, where you can appreciate numerous wonderful artworks.

Delicious food is also one of Kurashiki's attractions. From Japanese cuisine using local ingredients to stylish cafes and sweet desserts, it delights the taste buds of visitors.

In this way, Kurashiki is an attractive tourist destination where you can enjoy history, culture, food, and shopping all at once.

One-day Itinerary to Savor Kurashiki's Beautiful Streets and Cuisine

8:30 AM: Depart from Osaka

When departing from Osaka Station, you need to move to Shin-Osaka Station to board the Shinkansen. Osaka Station and Shin-Osaka Station are separate stations, so be careful not to confuse them.

Once you arrive at Shin-Osaka Station, we recommend purchasing ekiben (station lunch boxes) to have breakfast on the Shinkansen. The station sells many delicious ekiben. Please give it a try.

10:00 AM: Arrival / First, Let's Take a Walk Through Kurashiki's Central "Bikan Historical Quarter"

060720251530_image19.jpg

Upon arriving at Kurashiki Station, head immediately to the Bikan Historical Quarter. It's about a 15-minute walk from the station.

When you step into the Bikan Historical Quarter, the first thing that catches your eye is the scenery of beautiful white-walled houses lined up. This tells the story of Kurashiki's history as a thriving logistics hub during the Edo period (1603-1868).

The Bikan Historical Quarter in the morning still has few tourists and maintains a very quiet and calm atmosphere. Taking a walk during this time allows you to slowly appreciate Kurashiki's original beauty.

Try capturing beautiful scenery in photos, entering charming side streets, and enjoying exploration at your own pace.
