    Okayama Oda-gun Yakagecho Yakage 3079
    This nationally registered Important Cultural Property and historical building is about a 10-minute walk from Yakage Station on the Ibara Railway. It is the Honjin that was the center for post station town Yakage, and it has more than 3,000 square meters of land. A Honjin in the Edo period was a lodging facility used by Daimyo feudal lords and other public officers when they passed through on the way to or from the capital, and the building still retains its former glory today. The Ishii family once prospered as sake brewers, and their back gate and sakagura brewery building date back to the Mid-Edo period. The double-door gate of honor and raised floor room, and the elegantly designed transom of the lord's room were all apparently rebuilt in the late Edo period, but for the most part all the many buildings remain as they were without renovation.

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.
