    A five-minute walk from JR Bizen-Katakami Station. This museum exhibits local history, folklore, and culture. It's organized around the three themes of Folk Customs, Literature, and Ceramics. In the Folk Customs room you'll be introduced to the lifestyles of the locals and the tools that they used in their daily lives such as paper-enclosed lanterns, lamps, and stone mortars. In the Literature room you'll learn about local authors who hail from Bizen City. The Ceramics room features a cross section model of an ascending kiln and Bizen-ware pottery. Twice a year they hold special exhibitions that let you get in touch with the history and culture of Bizen City from all angles.

    アクセスは、さほど良いとは言えないです。 展示物なども、分かりやすく並べてありました。 資料も、色んな切り口から、専門的な解説をしてありましたので、 深い知識が、得られました。

    Okayama Wake-gun Wakecho Fujino 1386-2

    和気神社に隣接する地域の郷土資料館。とは言え、来館者が少ないであろうことは想像に難くない。 決して広い訳ではないが地域史が良くまとまっており、時間に余裕があるなら神社のついでに寄ってみると良いだろう。

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.
