Saker att göra i Kurashiki

The driver was very nice. We didn't know we'd pass a huge torii gate along the way, and she specifically pointed it out to us. Luckily, we made a detour to take photos; otherwise, we would have almost missed an interesting sight! 😆

Price: The price was a great deal. I experienced many activities, and it was excellent value for money. Booking with Klook Convenience: It was super convenient. I just went to the Kurashiki Station Tourist Information Center, told the staff I wanted to redeem my pass, and they scanned the QR code. After confirmation, they immediately issued the exchange voucher and even provided us with a map for reference, which was very thoughtful.

This is an amusement park with a peculiar vibe. There are an incredible number of stairs, which can be tiring. For those who find the stairs difficult, they've created alternative paths like hillsides and wooden structures. While it doesn't really have a strong theme or beautifully decorated areas, there are lots of kids having fun, which makes it feel exciting by association. Not all the rides are perfectly made, but they're decent enough to ride. I was worried it would be empty, but there were actually quite a few people there. The line to get in is long. Kiosks wouldn't really fit in here! There are only a few windows where people manually sell tickets. Going up and down the stairs and playing games at the main stage, making the kids sit down and stand up, is so much fun! The sky was a bit cloudy and visibility was low when I visited, but I bet the view would be great on a nice day!

We were there on 5 April for our 5-yo daughter. The services were amazing, couldn’t have asked for more! The location is a big plus as it’s just an easy walk of 2 minutes from the riverside.

I had a wonderful kimono experience in Kurashiki! The staff was incredibly kind and patient, letting me try different options until I found the kimono I loved. The whole process felt very personal — from dressing in all the layers to choosing the bag and shoes. She also did my hair and used the kanzashi I had made earlier in my trip, which made it even more special. Afterwards, she took photos of me around Kurashiki. Even though it was the end of sakura season, the canal and streets were still beautiful. She gave helpful posing tips and encouraged my own ideas. Overall, a really warm and memorable experience. I was unsure at first how it would feel as a foreigner, but the reactions were very kind and positive. Highly recommend this Kimono experience if you're visiting Kurashiki.

The exhibition primarily features optical illusions, and some of the displays are great for taking photos. Overall, it's more recommended for those with children. As people in our late thirties, we finished touring it quite quickly. Oh, and the staff were all very friendly and tourist-friendly!
