To the east you will find <strong>Higashi-ku<\/strong>, the central area of the city is called <strong>Naka-ku<\/strong>, and the south is referred to as <strong>Minami-ku<\/strong>.

The reconstructed castle next to the Asahi River and is a must-see if you are in Okayama since Korakuen is next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is one of the two castles with the black exterior, so they also call it the &#8220;Raven Castle&#8221;. Ukita Naoie, the daimyo who commissioned it, had chosen this color to mock&nbsp;Himeji Castle&nbsp;and its immaculate white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in 1996 that some&nbsp;golden <em>shachihoko<\/em>&nbsp;gargoyles were added. They adorn the roofs of Japanese castles to celebrate the four-hundredth anniversary of its construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building contains six floors of exhibits featuring samurai armor and items from different eras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Okayama-Korakuen-Gardens\"><\/span>2. Okayama Korakuen Gardens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Korakuen Gardens, along with the Okayama Castle, are the main tourist attractions of the city. The green and colorful area belonged to the feudal lord in the late 17th century. It was not until the late 19th century that they became the property of the government of the area and were opened to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its large 14-hectare expanse has&nbsp;plum, cherry and maple trees, plus a tea and rice plantation, ponds and small streams, several paths and trails, a small knoll with beautiful views of the park and even a&nbsp;<em>onsen<\/em>&nbsp;foothill to relax on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has three stars in the Michelin Green Guide and is also a place of historical and cultural interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"29157\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/japan\/things-to-do-okayama\/attachment\/things-to-do-in-okayama-japan\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Okayama-Japan.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"things-to-do-in-Okayama-Japan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Okayama-Japan.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Okayama-Japan.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Okayama-Japan.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-29157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Okayama-Japan.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Okayama-Japan.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/things-to-do-in-Okayama-Japan.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Korakuen&#8217;s Garden @Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Kibitsu-Shrine-Sanbi-Ichinomiya\"><\/span>3. Kibitsu&nbsp;Shrine Sanbi Ichinomiya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The temple has its origins in a legend about a demon that terrorized coastal villages. They came to the Imperial Court for help and Kibitsuhiko was sent to help them. The warrior won after an arduous battle against the demon called Ura. As a result, now, at the foot of Mount Nakayama in Kibi, stands the Kibitsujinja Shrine, which enshrines Kibitsuhiko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the northwest of the shrine, you&#8217;ll find the remains of a Korean-style mountain castle called Kinojo Castle, which they are still excavating for investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is open from 4:30 am to 6:00 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Okayama-Prefectural-Museum-of-Art\"><\/span>4. Okayama Prefectural Museum of Art<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum preserves a collection of many excellent works of art with the theme of &#8220;a connection to Okayama Prefecture.&#8221;&nbsp;The &#8216;Art of Okayama&#8217; exhibition, which displays these works, offers different Japanese paintings and writings every month and different Western arts and crafts every three months.&nbsp;In addition, they have special exhibits and themes through which you can enjoy works from a variety of eras and genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Mondays it is closed, but the rest of the days of the week it is open from 9:00 to 17:00, allowing admission until 16:30. Admission per adult is 350 yen. Elementary, junior high and high school students can enter for free, while university students pay a fee of 250 yen. Seniors 65 and older pay 170 yen per ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Handayama-Botanical-Garden\"><\/span>5. Handayama Botanical Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Created in&nbsp;1953, the garden&#8217;s expanse takes advantage of a hillside overlooking the city. The botanical garden currently contains some 3,000 species of woody and herbaceous plants from Japan and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open daily (9:00 to 16:30) except Thursdays and there is an entrance fee. You can reach it by bus, bicycle or bus from the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Ride-the-cat-tram-through-Okayama\"><\/span>6. Ride the cat tram through Okayama<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like little local quirks, make time to hop on Okayama\u2019s cat-themed tram. The city tramway has a carriage decorated with cartoon cats, paw prints and even \u201cears\u201d on the roof, so just spotting it at the stop already feels like a small win. It runs on the usual lines (including Higashiyama), so you can use it to get from Okayama Station towards the castle and Korakuen while turning a simple transfer into a fun photo moment. A day pass is inexpensive and lets you jump on and off as you explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding the tram is also a nice way to rest your legs after walking around the gardens or museums. Sit by the window, watch everyday life go by and enjoy that very Japanese mix of efficient public transport and cute design. Families and cat-lovers will be especially happy with this detour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-Okayama\"><\/span>What to see around Okayama<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Ki-Castle\"><\/span>1.

It is a &nbsp;Japanese&nbsp;castle&nbsp;of the <em>k?goishi<\/em> type, built in the late&nbsp;7th century&nbsp;by the Yamato Imperial Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to legend, a demon named Ura once ruled the province of Kivi from this castle.
