Recently, I stayed at Kurashiki Ivy Square, which Ebizo "favorites." 😂 I have the same great sense as Ebizo! Address: 7-2 Honmachi, Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, 710-0054 A hotel redeveloped from the former site of Kurabo's headquarters. It is a stylish building with British-style brick walls that are stacked on alternating long and short sides and are covered in ivy. There are places inside the hotel where you can see the brick walls. The hotel grounds and interior are full of interesting and eye-catching spots. Originally an old building built in the Meiji era, the guest rooms were renovated in 2020 and are very beautiful. As I was looking at the large music box in front of the restaurant, an employee came up to me out of nowhere and put a coin in to make it sound. I was touched by the thoughtfulness of not getting too close or too far away. If I have the chance, I would like to stay again! ⭐️Check out the last photo! #Ebizo #Kurashiki Beauty District #Hotel #Kurashiki #Tourist Spot #Okayama Prefecture #Accommodation Experience #Couple Trip #Gourmet Trip

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter is a tourist destination in Okayama where the beautiful townscape remains in harmony with the white-walled storehouses and Western-style architecture that remain from the Edo period. The townscape created by traditional buildings, the retro-modern scenery along the Kurashiki River, and the willow-lined streets continue to fascinate. Cafes and shops that have been renovated from traditional townhouses line the streets. The "Kurashiki River Boat Festival," which recreates the riverboats that transported goods during the Edo period, allows you to view the white-walled townscape from the water. Tickets are only available on the day, so it is recommended that you purchase one at the Kurashikikan Tourist Information Center as soon as you arrive. Kurashiki Ivy Square The premises, with their eye-catching red bricks entwined with ivy, include the Kurabo Memorial Hall and a hotel. [About the Kurashiki Ivy Square Building] The head office factory of Kurashiki Spinning Mill (now Kurabo) was renovated into a complex that includes a hotel, and it can be said to be a pioneer in the conversion of factory buildings. The ivy, planted for temperature control during the factory days, has become the symbol of Ivy Square. The Meiji era modernization heritage is preserved and utilized, allowing you to feel the passage of time.

#cityplaybook Kurashiki in Okayama Prefecture is a city where tradition and creativity come together. Its charming Bikan Historical Quarter is known for white-walled storehouses, old canals, and peaceful streets—perfect for a slow and thoughtful stroll. I started my walk at Andersen Square, a lovely area with European-style touches and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s a quiet place to sit down, enjoy the surroundings, and snap a few photos. Then I visited Kurashiki Ivy Square, a beautiful red-brick complex that was once a textile factory. Now it’s home to museums, shops, and cafés wrapped in ivy—it’s especially pretty in spring and fall. Why I recommend Kurashiki: ・The preserved historical streets feel like a journey back in time ・There’s a perfect mix of art, architecture, and calm local charm 📍Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, Japan #KurashikiWalk #IvySquare #AndersenSquare #BikanQuarter #OkayamaTravel #HiddenJapan #CityPlaybook

Kurashiki Ivy Square is a complex tourist facility located in the Bikan Historical Quarter in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. The site is large, and the exterior and standing trees of the original Kurashiki Spinning Mill (now Kurabo) from the Meiji period have been preserved and reused as much as possible. It houses a hotel, restaurant, experience facilities, and shops where you can purchase souvenirs such as Kurashiki crafts, folk crafts, and famous sweets. The restaurant is often frequented by groups, so we recommend making a reservation even for lunch.

#Japan must-visit check-in spots Kurashiki Ivy Square was rebuilt from the Kurashiki Bobo Factory. It has an elegant red brick Western-style exterior, and the photo composition is very good. The strong contrast left a deep impression on me. 🤣 In addition to a hotel, there are also facilities such as the Kurashiki Bobo Memorial Hall, an English-style church, and a wedding ceremony venue. If you have time, you can go to the Kurashiki Textile Museum. The business hours are from 9 am to 5 pm. The admission ticket is 300 yen for adults. There are many photos, models, documents and paintings on display to tell the history of Kurashiki Textile Factory💯 Kurashiki Ivy Square Address: 7-2 Honmachi, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture
