In the town that flourished as a shogunate direct territory during the Edo period, there is a beautiful scenic area where white-painted walls line the Kurashiki River. Kojima, known as the birthplace of domestic jeans, developed as a textile town during the Meiji period, and at the shops on Kojima Jeans Street, you can even experience making your own original jeans. The Mizushima area, which has developed as an industrial town, is one of Japan's leading coastal industrial zones. You can enjoy industrial tourism and factory tours, and the factory night view seen from the Takahayama Skyline, which was selected as one of Japan's top 100 night views, is definitely worth seeing.
