Okayama Castle and Korakuen Garden

From Okayama Station, head east along Momotaro Avenue and you'll find Okayama Castle at the end. The Okayama Electric Tram is also within the free ticket range of the JR Seto Inland Pass, just show it to the conductor when you get off. Although it's on the same line, you can't see the castle even if you get off at the castle station. Not until you walk up a short slope, and it suddenly opens up. In front of you is the Asahi River and a wide river channel, and your mood brightens up with it. Crossing Tsukimi Bridge, Korakuen Garden is wrapped in a forest. Along the forest is a free garden path. Just walk past the Korakuen ticket office for a hundred meters, at the Showa Monument, you can find the best viewing angle of Okayama Castle. There is a black cat by the grass on the ground, not afraid of people. It also likes this angle. The black castle of Okayama, in the game 'Nobunaga's Ambition: Creation of the World', is a form that can only be built in the later stages. There are also lighting events in October. The scenery, temperature, and wind at this time, I want to experience a hundred million times. (Korakuen) Visiting famous gardens, I can't help but marvel at the beauty of Korakuen. No matter where in the world, it's worth making a special trip to Korakuen. The carp in the garden are large and numerous, if you have enough time, sitting here for an afternoon feeding fish and watching the scenery is a great time. Korakuen The view of Okayama Castle and the garden from the exit is also very good, you need a telephoto lens. I only brought a short lens, so I need to crop. I really like the sculpture outside the door. There is a chrysanthemum exhibition on weekends, if you catch the chrysanthemum exhibition, there will be too many tourists, and you can't have both the scenery and the flowers.
