I went to Okayama to attend to
the conference of Teacher Certification Program of Private University.
I didn't stay in the hotel at Okayama City Area.
The hotel I stayed in was Kurashiki Business Inn.
The distance of the nearest station is 800M.
It takes 10 minutes from Kurashiki station to the hotel.
After I cheked in, I went to the Bikan-chiku.
Bikan chiku has many old-style buildings.
I chose one restaurant at this area.
I had a dinner at Iby-Square.
The restaurant was nice.
I had a good time in that restaurant.
Kurashiki city has a famous park.
The name is Tivoli Park.
The park is influenced by Tivoli Prak of Denmark.
It has many flower gardens and European style streets.
After the conference, I visited at that park.
Many flowers stimulated me.
I had a good time.
Long time ago, Kurashiki Fabric Company(Kurabo) was located at this area.
Now, a new Park is located.
Night time ticket is cheaper than day time ticket.
If you go to that park, I recommend you to buy night time ticket.
Illumination was good.
Before the perfect dark, you had better go there.
After the dark, I went to the Bikan-chiku.
I felt mysteriously.
Because light up was good.
I felt as if I went through the old street.
Surely, many houses was old.
But I didn't see inside of houses.
I saw outside of houses.
Before the conference, I visited at the famous garden at Okayama Area.
The name is Ko-raku-en.
It is called "one of the three great gardens in Japan."
Others are "Ken-roku-en" at Kanazawa City and "Kai-raku-en" at Mito City.
Ko-raku-en has a lot of trees, a big pond and a small stream.
I had a great time.
This garden was opened 7:30 am. to 6:00 pm. during summer time season.
Before the garden, a lot of pinwheels were decolated on the rail of the bridge.
