basic information

How to get there

Shin-Kurashiki Station is a station on the Sanyo Shinkansen, however, only a few trains (kodama trains only) stop there and the station is far from the city center and tourist attractions (another 7 minute train ride).

It is usually more convenient and faster to take the shinkansen to Okayama and change there onto a frequently departing local train to the centrally located Kurashiki Station (15 minutes, 320 Yen). Click here for information on how to get to Okayama.

Orientation

Kurashiki's major tourist attractions are within walking distance of JR Kurashiki Station. The walk from the station to the historic canal district takes about 10-15 minutes.
