Okayama City

The area is the capital of Okayama Prefecture and home to Okayama Koraku-en Garden, which is popular among international visitors. Known as one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, this Japanese garden not only allows you to experience the charms of each season while strolling around, but also allows you to enjoy matcha green tea and Japanese sweets at the chaya (teahouse) on the premises. It's also worth visiting the adjacent Okayama Castle, with its distinctive black walls.
