Furthermore, an easement for passage will be established on the extended portion of Lot 2 for the benefit of Lots 1 and 3.
The location is highly convenient, with Mizushima Rinkai Railway's Kyujo-mae Station just 650 meters away, approximately a 4-minute walk. The area around Kurashiki is rich in culture and history. An interesting local fact is that Kurashiki's beautifully preserved Bikan Historical Quarter, with its iconic white-walled warehouses and willow-lined canal, was largely spared from bombing during World War II, allowing its traditional atmosphere to remain intact to this day. The closest major tourist attraction is the renowned Ohara Museum of Art, also located in the Bikan district, which houses an impressive collection of Western masterpieces.
