Pilgrimage to the Famous Korakuen Garden, a Serene Japanese Style

Korakuen Garden is located in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, and is designated as a 'Special Place of Scenic Beauty' in Japan. A Japanese garden is a natural landscape composed of stones, flowing water, and plants. By arranging these elements to mimic natural scenery, it creates a miniature landscape that expresses a unique aesthetic sense and artistic conception. Okayama's Korakuen Garden, along with Kairakuen in Mito and Kenrokuen in Kanazawa, is one of the 'Three Great Gardens of Japan,' representing the quintessential Japanese garden. Spanning approximately 133,000 square meters, the garden connects lawns, ponds, and tea houses through pathways and waterways. Visitors can stroll through the ingeniously designed strolling garden and admire the changing seasonal landscapes. The garden retains the elegance of the Edo period, inviting visitors to stop and marvel at its beauty. You can also visit Okayama Castle together with Korakuen Garden, and enjoy a discount by purchasing a combined ticket.
