Traditional Boat Tour of Kurashiki Canal
Kurashiki River once served as the main route for goods traveling in and out of the area. Boat tours are available for visitors to experience what it is like to travel on the river. Unlike on land, sitting in a slow moving boat provides a new angle to appreciate the townscape featuring houses with white walls.
