• After exploring the art island of Naoshima, take a journey to Kurashiki’s Bikan Historical Quarter, where Japan’s traditional townscape has been beautifully preserved.
• However, reaching Kurashiki from Uno, the gateway to Naoshima, can be challenging due to the lack of direct public transportation. Travelers must transfer between buses and trains, and while the train is easier to navigate, it takes a longer, less efficient route.
• To eliminate this frustration and ensure a smooth, enjoyable trip through Okayama, we’ve created a hassle-free plan: a direct shuttle from Uno to Kurashiki, followed by a guided walking tour through the historic district. Experience the best of Okayama without the stress of navigating public transport!

After meeting your guide in front of Uno Station, you will board a shuttle vehicle. Your guide will drive you to Kurashiki Station, where you will disembark and begin a walking tour of the Bikan Historical Quarter. Along the way, you will learn about Kurashiki’s fascinating history—how much of the area was once covered by the sea and was later reclaimed to become a thriving hub for trade and commerce.
