The 'Igarashi Yumiko Museum' in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2026 with a grand reopening on March 24 as the experiential cultural space 'Princess Park Kurashiki (PPK)'.
To overcome the current lack of nighttime tourism resources in the Bikan Historical Quarter, Representative Seiko Mishiro has developed a new 'Night Princess Plan' to enhance the value of stays after 5 PM.
Furthermore, under the concept of 'celebrating life rather than age,' the museum is expanding its 'Longevity Celebration Plans' for milestones such as the 60th (Kanreki), 70th (Koki), and 88th (Beiju) birthdays.
Anticipating gift demand for Mother's Day on May 10, limited-time reservation bonuses are also prepared. Marking a 25-year milestone with the local community, it aims to evolve from a viewing museum to a 'museum for experiencing life'.
It has transformed into 'PPK Igarashi Yumiko Museum', which provides various experience plans rather than just viewing original artwork displays.
## What is the 'Night Princess Plan'?
While the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter is popular for its white-walled streetscapes during the day, it has been said to lack nighttime tourism content.
At Princess Park Kurashiki, we are launching the reservation-only 'Night Princess Plan' as a new stay experience where women can also feel safe and enjoy the evening hours.
This plan is available for reservations from 17:00 to 20:00 for groups of 2 or more.
Night Princess Plan in Kurashiki PPK
### 1. Change into a Dress and Head to the Rooftop
We recommend changing into a dress and going up to the rooftop while the sky is still bright.
At dusk, the Kurashiki sky turns deep red, allowing you to take magical sunset photos.
In the spring, you can also enjoy a beautiful view of the cherry blossoms in full bloom at Kurashiki Ivy Square just below the rooftop.
