Japan Railway Trip | Kurashiki - A historical town that maybe your next favourite destination

We visited Kurashiki (倉敷), located in Okayama Prefecture on a Hello Kitty Shinkansen!! Kurashiki is a picturesque historical town with a preserved canal area that dates back more than 400 years, when the city served as an important rice distribution centre for the shogunate. "Kura" translates as "storehouse". We love this place and wishes to showcase it to you.
A lot of friends and family recently visited Japan and went to places such as Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo, Nara etc. All the famous tourist spots. Japan is a country with lots of other attractive and historical towns that are just as worthy for a visit. One of these towns is Kurashiki in Okayama prefecture. We hope you enjoy the video.
