The last day of our Golden Week was dedicated to the city of Okayama itself. It may not be so big and exciting, but it does have a nice castle with a very beautiful and big garden next to it.
The castle was built in the 16th century, and it's also called the "crow castle" because of its black appearance. I thought it looked kind of cool like this. Inside was a decent Samurai exhibition. Here are a few pictures:
Even more interesting than the castle was the "Korakuen" park which is located directly next to the castle. This is rather famous throughout Japan, and has small ponds, hills, creeks, cherry and maple trees, as well as lots of flowers, all in a very quiet and peaceful environment. Definitely a good conclusion of our trip!
