TripAdvisor Traveler Rating名前の通り、外観も内観も猫だらけで可愛い感じ。 広くないのでさくっと見回れます。
招き猫の絵付けが出来るのが良かった。

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.
