    Okayama Castle

    When I was in Okayama, I visited Okayama Castle. The grounds are free which is great for people that just want to take a stroll or view the castle exterior. As a cheapskate, I pondered the idea of paying 300 yen to enter this castle. Considering the fact that I had never gone inside a Japanese castle, I decided to just go for it.

    Okayama City

    My first time in Okayama was by chance. I was riding the shinkansen and needed to get off at Okayama station in order to board yet another shinkansen. Since I had thought about visiting Okayama before, I pondered the idea of exiting the station, staying overnight in Okayama and doing a lot of sightseeing the following day.
