Fukiya Furusato Village

This was best place if you want to get kyoto vibe with less people around it takes 1hr+ from okayama station. They can speak english well too and welcoming tourist The place, food, drink, and even the toilet are nice. Highly recomend to support them to keep the place and the history of place

Did a day trip to Fukiya Furusato village today, which is known for its distinctive red ‘Bengara’ pigment coating on their houses. However, the town seemed to have lost it’s vibrancy, with the years setting and signs of wear and tear starting to show. Apart from a small handful of cafe/eateries and souvenir shops, there isn’t much other amenities to pique the interests of a general traveller, save for those who appreciate historical culture. It’s a quaint and quiet little town which can be covered in an hour or two. Good as a day trip visit that’s along the way but probably not worth detouring or specially planning over for.

Beautiful and peaceful place even though the rain

I recommend to you to visit there. Especially, you are big fun of Japanese old house. But the village is not big and inconvenient to get to. So I recommend you to visit there at the evening and stay overnight.

Fantastic little town in the rural corner of Japan. Highly recommend visiting the nearby copper mines and old house as well. There are many wonderful places tucked away in the streets, from an art gallery to a tea shop. The locals were very friendly and many of the attractions had English info books.
