Okayama Travel Guide

Okayama is conveniently accessible from Kansai, San'in, and Shikoku, making it a great spot for a half-day sightseeing tour in Okayama City during your journey. From Okayama Station, you can reach Okayama Castle and Korakuen Garden in just 15 minutes by bus or tram. Since they are close to each other, you can easily explore them on foot. At Korakuen Garden, you can enjoy the seasonal scenery throughout the year. Okayama Castle offers different impressions depending on the angle you view it from, so it's recommended to walk around the castle to see it from various perspectives. Okayama is known as the "Fruit Kingdom," offering delicious treats like parfaits loaded with white peaches, muscat grapes, melons, Pione grapes, and pears to refresh yourself before heading home. If you're short on time, consider picking up fruit sandwiches as souvenirs from the station. For a full-day sightseeing trip, add Kurashiki to your itinerary.
