In Edo period(early 17th- mid 19th c.) city of Kurashiki used to play an important role as a center city of rice storing. Many of the storehouses are still standing along the old canal, presenting the picturesque scenes for the visitors.
There is also an Art Museum in the district, called Ohara Museum of Art and it contains a big collection of European Art (El Greco, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Rodin and more), as well as some modern Japanese and Far Eastern Art. It was definitely worth a visit.
