About this activity

Nicknamed the 'Land of Sunshine' and boasting iconic sites such as the Okayama Castle, Korakuen Garden, and Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, Okayama prefecture offers an exceptionally scenic and historic destination.

Within the Okayama Castle Grounds, visitors can admire the unique “black” castle tower. Inside the main keep, you will be able to learn about Japan's warring-states period.

Nearby Korakuen is one of Japan’s three most famous gardens. This large garden used to serve as an exclusive relaxing place for the feudal lords.

Okayama is also known for its historical townscape. This old merchant town is known as the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. The streets are covered on both sides with old Japanese-style storehouses and former family residences dating back to the time when the city was an important trading and distribution hub. The area is bisected by a willow-lined canal.

Join this 1-Day tour of Okayama for a picturesque journey through the history of Japan.
