# Kurashiki Bikan Historical Area

The river boats come first: the ride takes about 20 minutes. Children under 5 ride free with a parent, and the prefecture's tourism site calls the bow the kids' best seat. Swans live in the canal, and its carp hold small children's attention: one 3-year-old followed them along the bank. Pokémon manhole covers come in three designs, and a 1-year-9-month-old smiled each time she spotted one. The canal itself, not any single attraction, keeps children busy, so it suits a slow stroll more than non-stop attractions.
