Our final stop for this summer vacation after leaving Marugame was Okayama (岡山). Okayama is famous for peaches (momo in Japanese) and thus the figure of Momotaro from Japanese folktales is a common sight here.
Okayama has her own castle, Okayama Castle, which is also known as Crow Castle (烏城) due to its dark colour.
Okayama Castle is separated from Okayama Korakuen by a river.
Okayama Korakuen is one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, and is definitely worth a visit. The landscaping is excellent, with its own little stream and pond running through the garden.
After visiting these two famous spots in Okayama, we had Tokushima ramen (徳島ラーメン) for lunch.
And then it was time to say goodbye to Okayama and head back home!
