    This museum located in Ashimori, Okayama City is adjacent to the Okayama prefecturally designated Place of Scenic Beauty Omizuen/Ginpukaku, about 4 kilometers from JR Ashimori Station. It primarily displays artifacts and artworks related to the Ashimori Domain and the Kinoshita lords of the domain. You can also see artifacts and old texts related to important locals like Dutch scholar and physician Ogata Koan, or poet Kinoshita Rigen. They also have excavated items like Jomon Period pottery, ironware, and stone monuments on display and in panels. The museum is quite nice for how closely it stays to local topics. You can tour for free, but you must make reservations in advance with the curator's office.

    街の真ん中なのに意外と広いスペースを割いた公園だ。聞けば、全国緑化フェアの跡地というではないか。これで、納得がいった。緑に関する学習施設「百花プラザ」があるほか、大型の公園や多目的広場が整備されており、スポーツや散策など野外活動が楽しめる。隣接地には大型のスーパーマーケットや家電量販店といった商業施設も隣地しており、広大な駐車場と合わせ、家族連れが天気のいい日に半日過ごすのにぴったりな場所だ。

Okayama Areas

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.
