The city of Okayama is a significant transportation hub, but considering how easy it is to get here, it's surprisingly off the radar of most foreign visitors. Don't let the lack of crowds fool you; the city boasts an excellent collection of attractions, the most notable of which are the 16th-century Okayama Castle and the spectacular Korakuen landscape garden. In addition to those highlights, art lovers can appreciate the wonderful collections at the Hayashibara Museum of Art, nature lovers can cycle through the charming Kibi Plain, and visitors with an interest in religion can head to the magnificent Kibitsu-jinja Shrine.
