Things to do in Okayama Station

Super worth it! Convenient ticketing with free experiences such as the free ice cream at Okayama castle

This package includes the Kansai Wide Area JR Pass and the Okayama Enjoy Pass. The Okayama Enjoy Pass is very practical as it allows you to choose three facilities to use.

After purchasing, simply show the QR code. This time, we chose to use it at Okayama Castle (the parfait redeemed on the first floor was truly delicious, and the hot dogs we bought separately were also super tasty), the Lumiere cafe at Hotel Granvia, and Bic Camera. My family was very happy. I suggest listing the usable attractions on the page, as that would be more convenient. The pass can also be used at various small shops in Kurashiki, but we didn't use it this time because we were too full from lunch.

We used 3 sightseeing passes: Kurashiki, Okayama Castle, and Okayama Ichibangai. We didn't use the Korakuen Garden pass because it was too hot to walk that day. For Kurashiki, remember to exchange your pass at the tourist information center to the right after exiting the station. For Okayama Castle, you can exchange your pass directly at the ticket counter and also use it for ice cream on the first floor. For the Ichibangai pass, you need to exchange it at the information desk. Using the pass at ABC Mart to buy shoes and getting two 3,000 yen discounts at once was a really great deal.

Purchasing Okayama Castle tickets on Klook is very convenient; simply present your voucher at the ticket counter for entry. Okayama Castle is beautiful and historically significant. You can also visit Korakuen Garden from the South Gate, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll around the area.

Experience: I used a voucher to get a ticket for Okayama Castle, which included a delicious and refreshing ice cream. I also exchanged a ticket for Okayama Korakuen Garden, but the ticket could only be redeemed at the museum at the North Gate, not the South Gate.

This pass is very convenient for visiting the Okayama area, especially Korakuen Garden and Okayama Castle. In the summer heat, it's perfect to visit Okayama Castle for some ice cream after exploring Korakuen. This time, I went to Tsuyama; although the museum isn't large, it's definitely worth a visit for railway enthusiasts.

For our family trip with two adults and two children, famous attractions in Okayama usually offer free admission for children below junior high school age, so we only purchased two passes. They were very convenient to use; we just showed the QR code.
