We investigate the Kramers-Wannier approximation for the three-dimensional(3D) Ising model. The variational state is represented by an effective 2D Isingmodel, which contains two variational parameters. We numerically calculate thevariational partition function using the corner transfer matrix renormalizationgroup (CTMRG) method, and find its maximum with respect to the variationalparameters. The calculated transition point $K_{\rm c} = 0.2184$ is only 1.5%less than the true $K_{\rm c}$; the result is better than that obtained by thecorner transfer tensor renormalization group (CTTRG) approach. The calculatedphase transition is mean-field like.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Prog. Theor. Phy
