Okayama Castle and Korakuen Garden
From Okayama Station, head east along Momotaro Avenue and you'll find Okayama Castle at the end. The Okayama Electric Tram is also within the free ticket range of the JR Seto Inland Pass, just show it to the conductor when you get off. Although it's on the same line, you can't see the castle even if you get off at the castle station. Not until you walk up a short slope, and it suddenly opens up. In front of you is the Asahi River and a wide river channel, and your mood brightens up with it. Crossing Tsukimi Bridge, Korakuen Garden is wrapped in a forest. Along the forest is a free garden path. Just walk past the Korakuen ticket office for a hundred meters, at the Showa Monument, you can find the best viewing angle of Okayama Castle. There is a black cat by the grass on the ground, not afraid of people. It also likes this angle. The black castle of Okayama, in the game 'Nobunaga's Ambition: Creation of the World', is a form that can only be built in the later stages. There are also lighting events in October. The scenery, temperature, and wind at this time, I want to experience a hundred million times. (Korakuen) Visiting famous gardens, I can't help but marvel at the beauty of Korakuen. No matter where in the world, it's worth making a special trip to Korakuen. The carp in the garden are large and numerous, if you have enough time, sitting here for an afternoon feeding fish and watching the scenery is a great time. Korakuen The view of Okayama Castle and the garden from the exit is also very good, you need a telephoto lens. I only brought a short lens, so I need to crop. I really like the sculpture outside the door. There is a chrysanthemum exhibition on weekends, if you catch the chrysanthemum exhibition, there will be too many tourists, and you can't have both the scenery and the flowers.
A very old park, the trees inside are quite old, the summer is hot, the inside is full of cicadas, there are rice fields and tea tree gardens, spring should be more beautiful in the past, after going out from the side door, walk across a bridge, the river is Okayama City.
it's the best park for me so far. it's very wide and great for walking. the green scenery is the best!
The park is located in the suburbs of Okayama City, Japan. It was built in 1687 by the main Ikeda Gangzheng Mingjiachen in Okayama and built in 1700. The park covers an area of 133000 square meters and has a unique design. It can surround the pond and woodland to enjoy different scenery. The park is located in the sandbank with less rain, low humidity, moss is not easy to grow, for sand-fixing soil, and the park is planted with lawns in a large area. The river in the park is curved, the pond is clear, and the waterfall is beautiful. The water is all live water introduced by Asahikawa. It is said that because the ground of the back park is higher than the water of the river, the gardener cleverly uses the siphon principle to attract water, it can be seen that the gardening technology at that time has been quite amazing...
Very worth a visit. For more details, see the picture below!
Since August, the park has been open for a month. Events such as night lights, light carving shows and sky lights will be held at the same time to create a completely different atmosphere from the day. There is also a bathrobe to enter the park, and you can get a good bathrobe day! There are shops nearby that provide bathrobe rentals, which is quite interesting.
The back park has a history of more than 300 years and the scenery in the courtyard is beautiful. There are cherry blossoms in spring, and red leaves in autumn! There are bamboo forests, ponds, and pastoral scenery... worth a visit!
