Tenmaya Kurashiki Store

Kurashiki City in Okayama Prefecture is a popular tourist destination, known for its picturesque Bikan Historical Quarter lined with traditional buildings along a canal. Tenmaya Kurashiki Store, a long-established department store cherished by locals, is just a one-minute walk from the south exit of Kurashiki Station. Unlike other Tenmaya stores that typically feature red and white signage, this location features a distinctive black sign that harmonizes with the townscape.

In addition to clothing and cosmetics, this store is highly recommended for souvenir shopping. The basement food section is filled with Okayama specialties and regional sweets. On the first floor, the “Okayamabiiki” section features locally crafted products such as bags from Kurashiki Hampu, a traditional canvas maker that holds about 70% of the domestic market share, and hats from Eritate hat, a long-established brand with a store also located in the Bikan District. Restaurants and cafés include a popular ramen shop from Okayama and a Western-style restaurant offering dishes from a well-known hotel in Kojima.

The store has a tax-free counter with staff to assist international visitors. Coin lockers, including large ones, are available both inside and outside the building—perfect for storing luggage before enjoying a walk around nearby attractions like the Bikan Historical Quarter.
