Kurashiki Riverboat tour

Japan, 710-0046 1-4-8 Chuo, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture

The Kurashiki River was once bustling with riverboats loaded with supplies. There are sightseeing riverboats in operation that allow you to enjoy the atmosphere. The view of the white-walled townscape as you sit on the boat as it moves slowly gives you a unique look that can only be achieved by sailing on a riverboat.
