What Is a Private Day Tour of Kurashiki and Okayama Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
At the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, the guests enjoyed shopping and strolling, and they viewed the exhibits at the folk craft museum with great interest. They looked at Bizen ware shops, denim products, and toys, and they had peach ice cream at a local shop, saying it was very delicious. They liked the Bizen ware very much and said it was very beautiful, but they gave up on buying it because it seemed difficult to carry home. They said the stroll was very enjoyable and that, although it was hot, they were able to enjoy Korakuen Garden. At Okayama Castle, they looked with great interest at the construction of the castle, and at the hands-on corner they enjoyed riding in a palanquin and holding a matchlock gun.

Tripadvisor review: Naoshima Full-Day Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Ray was an amazing guide for our day in Naoshima! She planned the timing for our visits to the art sites and museums and moved us along smoothly without us feeling rushed. She generously shared nuggets of interesting details and history about the artworks (extremely well researched and well prepared), and patiently answered our questions. Really appreciate her sincere efforts and positive energy. We had a most enjoyable and enriching experience! Highly recommended!!
