Have Fun in Okayama Pass

Great value buying these together! Both passes are excellent. The JR Kansai Wide Pass covers a large area, offering great value if you travel a lot. Plus, you can reserve seats six times. Just a round trip from KIX Airport to Okayama pays for itself on the Shinkansen! The Have Fun Pass lets you enter attractions or redeem discount tickets for three items. We chose Kurashiki (received 10 coupons for snacks and drinks), entry to Okayama Castle + ice cream, and a 1000 yen discount coupon for Bic Camera. Highly recommended!

I will be going to Okayama in April 2025. I have planned to travel all over Okayama, Tsuyama, Kurashiki, and Himeji. I took advantage of the cherry blossom discount and bought 2 sets of Okayama Pass. One set is Okayama Free Pass + Kansai Wide Area JR PASS, and the other set is buy one get one free free one week pass. I had three tourist passes in total, which I exchanged for one set of Okayama Castle + ice cream, three sets of Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter coupons, one set of Hotel Granvia Okayama dessert coupons, one set of Bic Camera shopping coupons and three sets of Sansute Okayama store shopping coupons. When I returned to Taiwan, I was extremely satisfied: I saw cherry blossoms, visited the castle, visited Kurashiki, ate all kinds of desserts, and bought all kinds of Okayama souvenirs. Thank you KLOOK for providing such discounted products! !

Okayama Park is adjacent to Jutengu Shrine. It was rebuilt after the merger of the county and the city. Today, the torii gate has been restored to its original appearance on the original site, fully preserving the original cultural and historical flavor of the park's predecessor. The connection between the green space and the surrounding environment has been strengthened through space transformation and utilization. Crowds of people gather on holidays, making it the most famous place for leisure activities. The Okayama branch of the city library and the senior activity center, both of which are built in Chinese style, are also located in the park. Together with the quiet school building of the National Okayama High School, the entire Okayama Park not only has ecological, environmental protection and flood retention functions, but is also filled with a strong humanistic atmosphere.

we used this pass to redeem Kurashiki Bikan Historical Area voucher, Okayama Castle Admission plus a sundae and lastly used it at Big Camera. worth it.

Before Hideki took over, the Okayama County Hospital was poorly managed and had very few patients. The county council, which oversees county affairs, was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the hospital was making losses every year, but the county government had to allocate a huge budget every year to subsidize the hospital's personnel expenses. The county magistrate at the time, Yu Zhengxian, pondered how to improve the operating efficiency of public hospitals. After several discussions with the county government team, he decided to operate Gangyi Hospital in a public-private partnership (ROT) model that would save public funds, improve local public health, and increase medical resources. With the support of the parliament, this became the direction of policy promotion. The Show Chwan Memorial Hospital, which started in Changhua at the time, laid a solid foundation in the central region and then began to extend its service tentacles southwards, successfully taking over the Tainan Municipal Hospital and becoming the country's first publicly-owned and privately-operated (ROT) municipal hospital. It has been operating successfully and has attracted much attention. After making a name for itself at Tainan Municipal Hospital, Show Chwan learned that Kaohsiung County Gangshan Hospital would also be re-tendered, so it participated in the bidding with the advantages of its Tainan experience and achievements, and was indeed selected. In 1990, Show Chwan obtained the operating rights of Okayama Hospital through bidding and signed a contract with the county government, officially ushering in the second spring of Okayama Hospital.

This was given free when purchased the JR Kansai Wide Area Pass, so it was worthwhile to use it. Redeem three facilities - Lumiere cafe JPY1k coupon, free Okayama Castle entry and sundae, Kurashiki Bikan Quarter JPY1k coupon. Redemption was simple and easy to use.

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.

Of the 3 options, I chose 1. Okayama Castle admission + ice cream (served in a paper cup), 2. Okayama Ichiban-gai 1500 yen coupon (I used it all at GU), and 3. 10 Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter strolling discount coupons (20 coupons total for the 2 of us). We used them on matcha, dumplings, jelly, Kikko-do confectionery making, and hair tie making. It was a really great deal, highly recommend buying it.
