What Is a Private Day Tour of Okayama and Kurashiki Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were very pleased with Korakuen Garden, asked many questions, and seemed to greatly enjoy the beautiful plants. Since they would also be visiting Kanazawa, I shared some information about Kenrokuen Garden and Kanazawa Castle. They toured Okayama Castle at a brisk pace and then moved on to Kurashiki, where they were very fond of the Ohashi House. We visited the Bikan Historical Quarter, where they sampled some sweets at a local shop and said they would stop by again later. After showing them Ivy Square, I confirmed details about gluten-free dining at a restaurant, and then we parted ways. They did not seem very interested in shopping, but they appeared to enjoy the atmosphere of the town.
