Kurashiki is located approximately 20 kilometers to the west of Okayama City. 
During the Edo Age (1603 - 1868) , Kurashiki Area was governed directly by "Edo Bakufu".
The Kurashiki "Daikansho", a magistrate's office of the "Edo Bakufu" was located to the east of the Kurashiki "Bikan" Historical Quarter.

After the Edo Age finished, the magistrate's office was closed and the site was used for a plant of KURABO Industries. The site of the plant became a composite facility of a hotel and museums, named the "Kurashiki Ivy Square" in 1973.


From the Kurashiki "Bikan" Historical Quarter, the west gate is the entrance of Kurashiki Ivy Square.



The historical building with white walls is the KURABO Memorial Hall.



You will see the red brick buildings ahead of the KURABO Memorial Hall. 
These buildings were built in 1889. 
The red brick buildings used to be plant buildings of KURABO and are covered all over with ivy.



The courtyard of the Ivy Square has a wide opened area and it is used for a cafeteria. 
The atmosphere of the courtyard looks like in Europe, while the outside area of the Ivy Square remain traditional Japanese houses.
