Okayama Trip

Published on May, 2025

Recently, I managed to join a group to Okayama and I remember the experience will always stay with me. I didn’t know anyone before I went, but because the group was so friendly, I soon got to know other people there. I got to know two terrific girls really well and we ended up spending nearly all of our time together having fun and making lasting memories. I was fascinated to see the outstanding Okayama Korakuen Garden, one of the country’s most famous gardens. Everything was in place: perfect weather, soothing scenery and delightful conversations among family. We got to do sushi-making with our own hands and we all found it really fun and tasty. We then visited Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter which gave the feeling that time had stood still. The canal, classic buildings and interesting shops gave the day a lovely atmosphere. At a cozy location, we were able to sample some truly delicious local sweet treats. It allowed me to make new friends, have great experiences and better understand how much the people and culture of Okayama care. I think anyone interested in genuine travel in Japan ought to check it out.

A Perfect Blend of Culture, Scenery, and Sushi!

Published on May, 2025

Visiting Okayama Korakuen was a breathtaking experience — the gardens are beautifully maintained and full of history and charm. We then had a hands-on sushi-making session where we learned to create traditional Japanese sushi, which was both fun and delicious! In the afternoon, we explored the lovely historical town of Kurashiki, with its picturesque streets and unique atmosphere. The entire day was well-organized and incredibly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy both culture and local flavors in one tour!

Korakuen's Beauty, Michelin-level Sushi & Hidden Villas – A Perfect Okayama Day

Published on May, 2025

This trip was absolutely wonderful! First, we visited Okayama Korakuen Garden. Every design shows great ingenuity, and with our guide Mr. Otsu's (I hope I got the name right) excellent guidance and explanations! The landscapes there were breathtaking - the houses, trees, rivers... For lunch, I must say it was the most delicious sushi I've had since coming to Japan! The fish was incredibly fresh with perfect texture. After that, we went to a traditional Japanese-style villa - this was my favorite part! It was so elegant and really makes you appreciate the art of living. Overall, I think this is a perfect trip for all types of travelers (whether solo, with friends or family), with the best guide (he's so hospitable and kind, which made our experience even better) and the best group members!

A Happy Trip to Okayama

Published on May, 2025

Today，I visited Okayama and had a wonderful time! The city was sunny and peaceful. First, I explored the beautiful Korakuen Garden, one of Japan’s top three gardens. The flowers and ponds were breathtaking. Next, I saw the famous black Okayama Castle, standing proudly nearby. I also tried delicious local food—Barazushi and juicy Okayama peaches. The people were friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxing. Before leaving, I bought Momoji Manju as souvenirs. Okayama was charming, and I can’t wait to visit again!

An interesting trip to Okayama.
