沢山吊るされているのは桃ではなくて柿ですね。生で食べられない渋柿の皮をむいて干すことで、甘いドライフルーツになります。長野県の市田柿（いちだがき）が有名です。今の時期はスーパーマーケットで買えると思います。
桃じゃないなんて！？😂😂

倉敷は、小さな地方都市ですが、信じられないくらい魅力的な町です｡倉敷を訪れてくださって､ありがとうございます
その通りです。倉敷ってすごい魅力的ですよね 😊😊
岡山に行くと必ず 白十字でケーキを買います。
Very nice. We’ll be in Kurashiki next month for a bonsai show near by. Now we’ll also have to hunt down the bakery. Note: the peaches are actually persimmons.
Omg, they were persimmons?! 😂😂😂 You HAVE to go to that bakery. Seriously the best bread we think we've ever eaten.
@@TalesFromOurPocket It is dried persimmons that is dried in autumn and eaten in winter. It's super delicious.
倉敷の良さがとてもよく撮れていますね🤩 大原美術館は本当に贅沢な場所です。
ありがとうございました！😊。
Good to see you guys made it onto the less known cities.
We want to travel to more lesser known cities next time!
Kurashiki is my home town! When I found your video, I was so happy!! Thank you for coming to Kurashiki! I also wanted to see you guys! haha
Oh gosh, you have a really pretty home town! Thank you for watching our video. 😊😊
I have lived in Kurashiki for 16 years. And the bakery name is “Mugi“.
Mugi means flour. I really recommend the bakery for everyone because it is one of best bakeries in Kurashiki!
We'd argue it's one of the best bakeries in all of Japan! We're going to be dreaming about that bread for a really long time. 😍
Mugi is the general name for wheat, barley and rye.
I am actually discovering a lot more about Japan watching you guy's videos While living in one:) I love your channel !!!
By the way, the items hung outside the house to dry were not peaches but persimmons, Persimmons to be dried are called astringent persimmons, which are too astringent to eat as they are, and are said to become 1.5 times sweeter than sugar by drying.
What?! Those sound amazing! And thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you're enjoying our videos! 😊😊
I was very impressed with the skill of the photography. The scenery captured by the camera has a calm structure, and there is a sense of security when looking at it. It somehow captures the calmness of Kurashiki and the calmness of Japanese architecture. It's a video that makes Japanese people want to visit Kurashiki again.
Thank you very much for your generous words. 😊😊
倉敷は天領と呼ばれた江戸幕府直轄地ですなので趣があります。大原孫三郎という豪商が、繊維の街を作り、病院、大学、美術館を作りました。実際にヨーロッパまで岡山ゆかりの画家が買い付けに行ったかいがです。明治の時代最高級の西洋絵画がありました。また大原孫三郎は孤児院などの福祉にも力を注いだ人物です。孫三郎の別邸も通っていましたね。
その歴史を教えてくれてありがとうございます! 😊😊
I was worried because you cried the video of trip to Hiroshima.
But I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Japan, including here in Kurashiki.
I live in Fukuoka City in Kyushu. Next time you visit Japan, please come visit Kyushu, which is full of charm!😄
We will add Kyushu to our list of places to visit! We definitely enjoyed Japan. 😊 Thank you!
Great video! We’re having a family holiday in Japan this coming December and will stay a couple of days in Kurashiki we’re so excited!
Staying there would be wonderful! I hope you have a fantastic time in Japan. 😊😊
Really nice
Thanks! 😊😊
Japan is very proud to be one of the last place you can find natural indigo dyed denim and silks, hence the name “samurai blue” for their national soccer team
That is an amazing soccer team name!!
Wow. That’s an El Greco.
I'm late for the party. But I brought my appetite. 😋
We think you'll like this one, Walt! 😊
@@TalesFromOurPocket you did it for me! 😢
awesome!
Thanks! 😊
日本のパン/ブレッドを食べてくれてうれしいです。青くはありませんが( *´艸｀)
It was very delicious!
*Do you love Japanese Culture?! 😉 So I'm sure that you will love my music too! My music is Japanese Instrumentals! 🔴*
Cool, thanks!!
さすがインテリ夫妻。題材に大原美術館を取り扱うなんざ。私も行きましたが。実業家の 大原孫三郎 が気骨ある画家 児島虎次郎 のために造りました。虎次郎がヨーロッパから持ち帰った セザンヌ マネ モネ などの作品は、見るべきものがあります。昔の富豪は、このように、私費で美術館を造りました。今みたいに富豪がセコくない。是非、島根県安来市にある 足立美術館 を訪れてみてください。横山大観を初め、日本人画家の作品がありますが。日本庭園が日本一です。感激されるはず。因みに私は、全国各地に行っています。
大原は本当にすごいコレクションですね！😊😊。
"Denim soft-serve ice cream", tastes like the Levi's Bill wore as a teenager. Just kidding, it tastes like “RUMUNE soda” and blueberries. It was unexpected that you moved further west from Osaka and Kyoto. As it turns out, it looks like you made the right decision. If you are still in Japan, winter brings rain and a lot of snow on the Sea of Japan side and dry sunny weather on the Pacific side. Keep up the great trip and don't catch any viruses. Where did you guys go this time? Can you say without seeing anything?
😂😂 How do you know Bill so well?? 😂😂😂 Gosh, that made me laugh. I need to try Rumune soda!! We head further south in the next video. 😉
ARIGATOU for your reply. I found a misspelling in a key word. “RAMUNE (corked with a marble, unique bottle shape) soda” Have a nice end of the year!!
倉敷には大原美術館があります🎉
🎉🎉🎉
Kurashiki is a tourist destination that Japanese people love more than Kyoto. The city is especially popular with young women. Foreigners go to Hiroshima immediately after sightseeing in Kyoto and Osaka. Japanese people really like the place between Osaka and Hiroshima. In between are Kobe, Himeji, Okayama, Kurashiki and other places that Japanese people love. If you get tired of Kyoto or Tokyo, please do sightseeing.
Yes! More foreign tourists should visit towns like this!
I think Kyoto is nice but not wow and it’s overrated. I much prefer Kanazawa. I’m going to Osaka and Hiroshima next year and definitely will visit Kurashiki!! You mentioned several places here, which other city do you think I should visit if I have time for just one more?
I recommend two places that Japanese people often go to, but foreigners rarely go to.
The first is Shikoku. It's an island on the opposite side of the Seto Inland Sea, so it's relatively easy to get to. There are four prefectures in Shikoku, each with its own characteristics. Typical places include Matsuyama Castle and Dogo Onsen in Ehime Prefecture. Kagawa Prefecture, also known as Udon Prefecture, has thousands of udon restaurants. Tokushima prefecture. Awa Odori is known all over the world, and whether you want to see it or dance it, please give it a try. The most well-known temple in Shikoku is the 88 temples that are distributed across the four prefectures of Shikoku, where you will visit one temple at a time. Many people spend several years visiting the shrine. The Japanese word for visiting 88 places is "Ohenro." I went to 8 places.
The second place we recommend is the San'in region, where the natural beauty of Japan's mythological times remains intact. Since the mythological era, the roads of the gods all over Japan have remained intact, and the shrines where the gods gathered still remain. This is Izumo Taisha Shrine. There is no Japanese person who does not know this. There are no Shinkansen or expressways running in the San'in region. There are no large buildings or factories. The only things that exist are the roads that God has taken and nature. It has wonderful natural beauty such as sand dunes, beaches that appear in myths, and Amanohashidate, where the gods crossed. But most foreigners don't know about it. Please come and explore.@@EVL-xj5vc
@@user-do1ch5dw3x thank you so much for taking the time to share this. I’m lucky that I’m able to travel to japan often. So I can explore the less common places. Discovered Kanazawa before the Hokuriku Shinkansen was built and was less crowded then. Always promote unusual places to friends :) I don’t drive and I’m glad there are still many places accessible by buses I can visit.
Those are persimmons, not peaches haha. Autumn is persimmon season, you should absolutely try some fresh ones!! They are delicious at the height of ripeness!
😂😂 They looked like peaches to us! So funny. 😁😁
They are hung to make dried persimmons (hoshigaki). Definitely try them regardless of whether you like persimmons, they taste completely different.
What is the name of the art gallery you went to? Kurashiki seems to have a half dozen or so such establishments.
This one! Ōhara Museum of Art
大原美術館
Most Japanese go to Kyoto and Nara for school trips, and to Osaka for business. Therefore, Japanese people do not go to such places for sightseeing. If Japanese go, Kobe, Himeji, Kurashiki, island tour in the Seto Inland Sea, and various parts of Shikoku. As you can see from the video, most of the tourists in Kurashiki are Japanese, and many of them are young women. There are very few foreigners. That will be the best proof.
We have so many more places we want to see on our next trip to Japan!
オイラの住んでいる町を紹介してくれて有賀とサンです。
結構イイ処でしょ、でも日本国内にはこの様なイイ町（大原美術館は他にはないけどね）沢山あるので是非、
日本国内の其処まで有名ではないけどイイ処捜してみて下さい。
ありがとうございます。こんな素敵な街に住めるなんて、あなたは本当に幸せ者です。😍😊
@@TalesFromOurPocket
本当に幸せ者です、引っ越しするたびにアパートが美観地区に近づき今はチャリで５分です、暇な時はよく美観地区いってますし、大原美術館の年間パスみたいなのも持ってます。
それって、濃厚ですか？
パンはこってりしていませんでした。風通しがよくて、軽かったです The bread was not rich. It was airy and light!
歌川国芳の浮世絵見つからなくて良かった。大原美術館も中が撮影禁止で本当に良かった。備前焼も見つからなくて良かった。倉敷の魅力を伝えないでください。
にぎやかな京都か広島へどうぞ。
Best bread in Japan: no name, google map point, whatsoever. You just have to come here and search the whole town for it. very informative lol
We had to have some viewers point out which bakery it is! I've updated the description with the bakery name and Google Maps location. Thanks for pointing out we hadn't updated that yet! (Although, tbh, searching the whole old town area would be a fun way of finding it! 😉)

🤷♀️
Welcome to the country that caused pain to society… anime. (I got no problem with anime but the weebs man)
Haha, Japan is responsible for other great things, too, though, right? Like that bagel bread. 😍😍
@@TalesFromOurPocket yes heheheheh
元々観光地として有名な所は必ずしも外国人観光客を必要とするほど困ってないし、外国人に手間を掛ける煩わしさを考えると面倒くさいからいちいち外国人にアピールしない
寒い地域やド田舎は除いて
北海道や石川みたいな所
大都市や典型的な観光地、例えば大阪や京都みたいな所はドンドン外国人を呼べ呼べと浅ましく焚き付けるけど
大阪は完全に金に目がくらんだ金の亡者だし、京都は大した産業がなく、過去の遺産で食いつないでるだけ
地下鉄の負債で京都なんか倒産仕掛けてるから、観光公害なんてどこ吹く風
早く地下鉄の負債を支払いたいからどんだけ混雑しても混雑緩和に向けた対策なんて取らない
岡山や神戸行ったほうがのんびりした日本風情を楽しめるから良いと思う
しー！ ばれちゃう。 ｂｙ倉敷市民
