Introducing Okayama

Prefectural capital Okayama prides itself on its copious sunshine and its connection to Momotarō, a demon-quelling folklore hero. Within easy reach of Kurashiki, this laid-back city offers one of the top three gardens in Japan (Kōraku-en), Okayama Castle and some excellent museums. Most of the sights can be seen in a day.
