    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Kojimaekimae 3-23
    A five-minute drive from the Kojima Interchange on the Seto Chuo Expressway. Come and take a sight-seeing cruise launching out of Kojima Kanko Port with no prior reservations needed. You can see some of the various large and small islands of the Seto Inland Sea and get an up-close look at the amazing Seto Ohashi Bridge. The cruise takes you from the Kojima Kanko Port to Yoshima Island while looking at the cable-stayed bridge towards Hitsuishi and Iwakuro Islands to the right, turns around on the northern shore of Yoshima Island and then returns to the port passing directly under the truss bridge and cable-stayed bridge. The trip takes approximately 45 minutes. They also have tours where you can see the evening view of the Seto Ohashi bridge and the factory night skyline and even a special New Year's cruise to see the first sunrise from the water (all require reservation).

Open to chartering for weddings and other events.

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
