Okayama City

Home to One of The Three Great Gardens of Japan
Okayama is overlooked by most visitors to Japan, but it has a lot to offer those looking to get a little off the beaten track. The city is home to one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan ”Korakuen Garden” and is especially lovely to visit during cherry blossom season. You will find many beautiful sakura spots to enjoy without the crowds of Kyoto or Tokyo. It’s also a fantastic, affordable base for exploring the area. Okayama is the capital city of Okayama Prefecture, known as the Land of Sunshine. You can visit Kurashiki, a picturesque canal-side historic quarter, and cycle through rice fields to quiet temples on the Kibiji Bike Trail.

As Okayama City is a transport hub of western Japan. You can arrive in the city in just about one hour from Tokyo and Osaka, and from here it is also an ideal base for visiting Shikoku, Seto Inland Sea and Naoshima Island, known for its contemporary art galleries.
