What a wonderful collection of denim brands carefully curated into a 'street' full of beautifully Japan-made denim merchandise. For all you denim lovers out there, this is a must visit place along the historic river area. For those who aren't so into denim, do try the blue coloured buns and ice cream, it's a surreal experience you'll never forget.
Kurashiki Denim Street is a unique shopping area in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarters.
You will see a few stores here selling a specific theme of products - Yup! That's right, the stores here sell denim-themed things from the usual denims to food with the distinct denim color.
It's a must-visit if you want to try out the unique denim man and denim soft cream. Of course don't forget to buy a pair of jeans when you visit.
I bought a denim cap there, and I'm very happy with it. I wear it regularly, and it's a really cool and useful souvenir from Kurashiki. The best thing is that the prices in the shop are affordable if you want to buy something made of denim. I also tried the famous ice cream there, which was a fun experience.
Not a big fan of denim but the shops are interesting.
BTW
Denim ice cream test like blue soda and too sweet for my tongue.
Kurashiki Day 16&17
Kurashiki City! Place of the upcoming G7 meeting. Looks all spruced up!
What an amazing Surprise, stunning old town, with many oh so well maintained houses/buildings. What an eye opener! Everything is so utterly clean, you could eat of almost surface!
You gotta leave it to the Japanese to be so fastidiously clean it’s sobering! The pride they take not only in their home but also the environmental large! One cannot even find rubbish bins, as one is expected to take along their own rubbish and dispose of it correctly! Simply stunning!
The Denim street is exactly what it says it is, quite a number of shops specialising in nothing but Denim, virtually everything a mind can think off, it’s available in Denim, especially the kids clothing, so fun!
Of course there are plenty of Museums, all pretty small specialising in all kinds of historic agendas!
F&B wise also pretty much everything one can want it’s available, I get the impression that Japanese have a fascination with Curry’s, we saw quite a few small eateries, from the Japanese version right to the original Indian! Of course as the Japanese like their sweets, plenty of shops selling all kind of iterations!
Overall a must place to visit!
Enjoy!
