Overview

Kurashiki Ivy Square is a complex that was reborn in 1973 as a tourist facility from the former factory of Kurashiki Spinning, a company founded in the Meiji era. The red brick buildings retain the atmosphere of that time, evoking a sense of history. The green ivy covering the buildings, originally planted to regulate the factory's temperature, is now a symbol of Ivy Square. The site offers a classical hotel, restaurants serving fresh Setouchi seafood, shops selling local specialties, and much more to enjoy throughout the day. The Kurabo Memorial Hall provides insights into the history of Japan's textile industry. Its location within walking distance of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter makes it an ideal tourist base. Many other attractive spots, such as the Ohara Museum of Art, are nearby. Visit Kurashiki Ivy Square to fully experience the charm of Kurashiki, where history, culture, and nature intertwine.
