Your journey begins with a convenient pick-up from your location, setting off toward the historic city of Okayama. The first stop is the striking Okayama Castle, also known as the Black Castle for its elegant dark exterior. From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of the city and nearby gardens. Just across the river lies the serene Korakuen Garden, one of Japan’s three most beautiful landscaped gardens, where scenic ponds, teahouses, and walking paths create a peaceful escape into nature.

Next, travel to Kurashiki, a beautifully preserved town that captures the charm of Japan’s Edo period. Wander through the Bikan Historical Quarter, with its white-walled storehouses, willow-lined canals, and traditional architecture. Nearby, visit the renowned Ohara Museum of Art, Japan’s first museum to feature Western art, showcasing masterpieces from Monet to El Greco alongside Japanese works.

Enjoy a local lunch at the Kurashiki Canal Area, where cozy cafés and traditional restaurants serve regional dishes in a picturesque setting. On your return journey, you may choose an optional stop at Kibitsu Shrine, a sacred site surrounded by scenic corridors and steeped in local legends.

The day concludes with a comfortable drop-off at your designated location, marking the end of a delightful journey through Okayama’s culture, history, and timeless beauty.
