A Relaxed Walk Around Okayama Castle

#cityplaybook If you’re visiting Okayama, a peaceful walk around Okayama Castle is a must. Nicknamed “Crow Castle” for its striking black exterior, this historic landmark stands proudly by the Asahi River and offers scenic views from the top floors. Inside, you’ll also find exhibits about samurai history and traditional crafts. Start your adventure at Okayama Station, where you’ll spot the iconic Momotaro statue—a fun photo spot that celebrates the local legend of the peach boy. To reach the castle, try hopping on one of Okayama’s charming streetcars. The wooden interior adds a touch of retro nostalgia, and it’s a fun, scenic ride through the city. Whether you’re here for the history, the riverside breeze, or just a calm afternoon stroll, Okayama Castle and its surroundings offer a perfect day out. Why I recommend this area: ・You can enjoy history and beautiful views in a relaxed atmosphere ・The streetcar ride adds a local and nostalgic charm to the journey 📍Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan #okayamacastle #momotarostatue #okayamawalks #streetcarride #crowcastle #okayamatravel #cityplaybook
