Funao is an area in western Kurashiki City, along the Takahashi River.
Known as a production area for Muscat of Alexandria grapes, Funao grows grapes in greenhouses lining the mountain slopes. Sweet pea cultivation is also thriving. The Ichinokuchi Sluice Gate, the starting point of the Takase-doshi waterway that carried cargo to Tamashima Port during the Edo period, also remains.
