formerly HONJIN (Main Camp) In the past, feudal lords often stayed here 33C001
This historic accommodation was built by the Ishii family in the early 17th century. It consists of a main building and an annex, both of which are designated as important cultural properties by the government (this is the only place in Japan where both are designated as important cultural properties). It also has a sake brewery, and many feudal lords used to stay here.

KORAKUEN Park One of the three most famous gardens in Japan 33N001
Korakuen is one of the most famous feudal gardens of the Edo period, and is designated as a Special Place of Scenic Beauty by the national government as one of Japan's Three Great Gardens. It has been passed down to the present day without any major changes from the Edo period. The wide lawns, pond, artificial hills, and teahouse are connected by garden paths and waterways, making it a stroll-style garden designed to allow visitors to enjoy the changing scenery as they walk.

BIZEN Ware the charm of Bizen ware lies in its dark brown surface 33C002
The dark brown surface that is the charm of Bizen ware is produced by firing soil excavated from deep in the rice paddies with soil rich in iron, a mixture of mountain soil and black soil. The composition of the soil varies depending on the location where it is excavated, such as the ratio of the soil mixture and the length of time each soil is left to sit for several years. Therefore, skilled techniques are required to make it, and some artists use soil that has been left to sit for more than 10 years. Today, Bizen ware remains very popular. The many square brick chimneys that can be seen in this area are from Bizen ware kilns.

A beautiful city, KURASHIKI a city where white-walled streets remain 33N002
Kurashiki City is known for the Kurashiki Bikan (beautiful landscape) Historical Quarter, where white-walled streets remain, and the Great Seto Bridge, which connects Honshu and Shikoku island. The white-walled streets, which combine Japanese and Western styles, are still preserved, and the city is one of the prefecture's leading tourist destinations, while it is also one of the leading industrial cities in western Japan. The Ohara Museum of Art, Japan's first private Western art museum, was founded by a local businessman and is a must-see, with many famous Western masterpieces on display, including those by famous artists El Greco, Claude Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Cezanne, Utrillo, and Picasso. It opened in 1930.
