Okayama Castle is distinguished by its jet-black exterior, earning the nickname “Ujō” or “Black Castle.” Set along the Asahi River and facing Korakuen Garden, it offers beautiful paired views. Remnants of stone walls and moats add to the scenery with plenty of photo-worthy spots. If you wish, we can include a brief visit inside the castle.
Korakuen Garden is one of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, famed for its spacious lawns, ponds, and “borrowed scenery” views of Okayama Castle across the Asahi River. Winding paths, stone bridges, and seasonal flowers create countless photo opportunities and a calm, classical atmosphere. If you wish, we can include a short break at a teahouse inside the garden.
