I quite like walking around in the more historic areas. And can quite recommend Kurashiki. Everyone knows Kyōto as a historic place, and Kyōto is quite nice. But Kyōto is always swarming with tourists, many of them foreigners. Kurashiki is a bit more laid back. It is where Japanese people go when they want to visit a historic area, and there are not nearly as many foreigners in the way.
