    Okayama Maniwa-shi Hiruzen
    This biking and walking trail is in the Hiruzen area of Maniwa City. With a total length of 30 kilometers, it seems to wrap around Mt. Hiruzen. The scenery is spectacular, with views of the Hiruzen Three Peaks, Mt. Daisen, and more, for an easy taste of nature. There are bicycle rental offices, and you can even try a tandem bicycle for two limited to the Hiruzen Heights Bicycle Trail. The Roadside Station Hiruzen Kogen also offers children's bicycle rentals, so it's recommended for families.

    I liked the course so much that I did it twice. Landscape changes so its more interesting. You go through hills, pastures, fields and down the river. There are many flowers on the way. Take good...

    Okayama Pref. Tsuyamashi Yamakita 628
    This Japanese garden is located in Yamakita, Tsuyama City. It is a daimyo park in an early modern style of garden that features a path around a pond that was created in the first half of the Edo period (1603–1868) by the Tsuyama Domain’s second feudal lord, Mori Nagatsugu. After the Matsudaira clan became the lords of Tsuyama, it was used as their personal residence and place to receive guests, and was opened to the public from the Meiji period (1868–1912). You can enjoy the harmony of every season from the gardens centered on the pond, the cherry trees and changing autumn leaves. It is a designated National Site of Scenic Beauty.

    This observation deck, at an altitude of 900 meters, is located in the middle of the Hiruzen Daisen Skyline. It is a scenic spot overlooking the magnificent mountains of Mt. Daisen, Mt. Karasugasen, Mt. Zouyama and Mt. Giboshi. At sunrise and sunset during the autumn when the difference in temperature is great, visitors can enjoy the beautiful contrast of the morning sun over the sea of clouds.

    Okayama Tsuyama-shi
    A 15-minute drive from the Tsuyama Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway. This townscape, located on the eastern side of Tsuyama City which first flourished as a castle town, runs along for nearly 1.2km along the former Izumo Highway and has been chosen as a nationally recognized Group of Traditional Buildings. The area is lined with buildings and houses of tradesmen and craftsmen and the buildings show the traces of those classic days including Namako patterned walls, Sodekabe wing walls, and ultra-fine latticed windows. We recommend stopping by the Joto Old Townhouses, classic houses from the Edo period that are open to the public, and the Tsuyama Archives of Western Learning, Japan's only museum dedicated to western learning.

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

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.
