Hello! Thank you for visiting our blog page!

Today I will tell you about Okayama prefecture where our office is. Okayama pref. is really nice place and has many sightseeing spots, so I'm sure you'll like it. 

DIRECTIONS

Okayama Pref. is at the south of Japan.

The easiest way to get there is as follows:

If you come by airplane from Tokyo, you should use Tokyo International Airport (also known as Haneda Airport). It takes about 1h 20 min from there to Okayama Airport. 

In case of using a train, it takes about 3h 20 min from Tokyo to Okayama Station by Shinkansen (it means bullet train). If you want to come to Okayama from Osaka, you would better take a Shinkansen because it takes only about 45 min from Osaka to Okayama Station.

SIGHTSEEING SPOTS

・Okayama Korakuen Garden (Japanese traditional garden)

 This garden is one of Japan's three major gardens, so there is the most beautiful place and has an atmosphere that is relaxing. Japanese tea ceremony (it is called “Sado” in Japanese) is held, and also you can experience many Japanese traditional event there.

Also you may hear cranes singing because Korakuen has them. If you never hear to their voice before, I think that it is worth hearing to it once.

・Okayama Castle

Okayama Castle is called “U-jo” (Crow Castle) because of its color, jet-black. It was built in the late 16th century.

Okayama Castle is near Korakuen, in summer you can see the castle and Korakuen are lightened up. Inside, there are interesting displays and you can see the beautiful scenery from the top floor of the castle.
