Kurashiki

Kurashiki ha an old district that feels like old Europe.

All this traveling is really quite exhausting, so I sat along this water way and read a book for a while.

Afterward I walked around a bit. I am captivated by the architecture.

Look at how the boards perfect form to the stone.

The dark lines are from stains over time from the nails. A design element created over time.

The bus stop believe it or not.

This building covered in ivy used to be a spinning factory now a hotel. There was also a ceramics studio in the back. There was quite a bit of ceramics in the area.

I then went I a restaurant recommended to me by the tourist information office. I pretty much said sashimi and tempora and got an amazing meal. This shrimp not only beautiful after I ate it and put the tail down, it fluttered! That's how fresh it was!
