Kurashiki

In the morning I had visited Himeji Castle and in the afternoon I went to Okayama. I had accommodation in the city and I had planned to visit its famous gardens but someone advised me that they'd been distorted by the heat and it was a better idea to go to Kurashiki. I always do listen to other travellers, so I went to Kurashiki. It is a city that is 30 minutes away by local train from Okayama. When you leave the modern part and head to the old part, the city can be described as peaceful. I relaxed walking through the small streets near the canals which were abundant with koi, Asian carp and colours.
