Maybe an hour's train ride from Okayama or Hiroshima. Called the Venice of Japan with its canals. Nice daytrip. Full of Japanese tourists and a few "long noses" from Europe or the States. Also famous for its handiworks: clay pots, cups, plates, etc...

Il faut juste faire le petit quartier "ancien". Le long d'un quai ils ont rénové/conservé des petites maisons traditionnelles et des temples. Très mignon!
