Have you ever explored the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter at night?
As the sun sets, the white-walled storehouses and latticed facades are softly lit, and the willow trees along the canal sway gently in the evening breeze. It’s a calm, almost magical atmosphere—very different from the lively bustle of daytime. With fewer tourists around, it’s the perfect time to take a relaxed stroll through this beautiful area.
One of the best ways to enjoy Kurashiki at night is with a guided evening food tour that visits two of the city’s most beloved izakayas.
You’ll taste local specialties like flame-seared or rare-cut sawara (Spanish mackerel) and crispy tempura made with fresh octopus from the Seto Inland Sea. Carefully selected sake pairings from Okayama elevate the experience into something truly special—perfect for travelers looking for an authentic culinary experience.
An English-speaking guide accompanies the tour, making it ideal for international guests. The guide will not only explain the dishes but also share the history and stories behind Kurashiki and its culinary culture.
Kurashiki at night offers a completely different charm from its daytime face—serene, elegant, and a little mysterious.
This food tour is a wonderful way to discover a new side of the city while enjoying great food and conversation in a relaxed, grown-up setting.
