What to look for

Check the details as you walk

Kurashiki windows are plastered lattice windows found on the upper floors of townhouses. They formed part of the facade while admitting light and air.

Look up at the white second-storey walls for small vertical openings. Even on one street, the number and width of lattice bars can differ.

View buildings from public paths. Do not enter private property or block narrow streets.
