Our next stop, Kuras.. its old-town canals
A samurai house with..lls sits next to one
The roof tiles have pretty ends
Kurashiki has its ow..yle of pottery glaze
Some exotic English ..due to a cotton mill
We kept switching be..itional Japanese ...
... and not so traditional architecture
Traditional: a shrin..hill above the canal
Nice and quiet in the early morning
This black-and-white..traditional Japanese
A row of shops has t..tory arrangement ...
... retail below, living space above
The main canal through the old town
We enjoyed exploring little alleyways
On the other side of..e is the home of ...
... a pair of swans!
.
Kurashiki's manhole ..illows by the canals
... and their brave firefighters
Susan liks these anc..und figures; so do I
Cool roof decorations on a nearby shrine
This new shrine buil..nge: it's so bright!
A shrine dedicated t..ma -- sort of spooky
In a nearby orchard,.. its own paper cover
I saw many large butterflies
This one even sat still for me
I had an 'adventure'..t for a 'short walk'
Short on time, I pan..an toward a big road
Signs helped me get ..ook a lot of walking
