TripAdvisor Traveler Rating国道の案内標識も変わっていました。
改装から日が浅く、トイレなど驚くほど広くて清潔です。
土産物の種類も多くて良いのですが、地元の農産物の販売にはもう少しだけ力を入れて欲しい。

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.
