This is Korakuen Park in Okayama City. It is one of three most beautiful gardens in Japan. It was made for the Japanese feudal lord in Edo Period. It is a very large garden , and you can enjoy walking and watching a beautiful scenery.

Kurashiki was governed directly by Edo Shogunate. So there were some rice warehouses. They are preserved now because Kurashiki wasn't burnt down during the World War.You can see a row of houses and streets about 200 years ago.

Okayama Castle was constructed in 1597 under the direction of toyotomi Hideyoshi. The present castle was reconstructed because it had bombing during the world War Ⅱ. Tsukimi Watch-tower and stone walls are the original one.

This stream is called Kurashiki River.You can ride this small boat and enjoy seeing Kurashiki Bikan historical quarter. A boatman rows a boat with a paddle.
