The driver was very nice. We didn't know we'd pass a huge torii gate along the way, and she specifically pointed it out to us. Luckily, we made a detour to take photos; otherwise, we would have almost missed an interesting sight! 😆

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.

This historic castle, located in the heart of Okayama City, is also known as "Crow Castle." Its interior has been renovated into a museum, housing artifacts from the Sengoku period. From the top floor of the main keep, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the city, the moat, and Korakuen Garden.

The shop is not far from the riverside in Kurashiki, located on the second floor of a clothing store. The owner is very kind and attentive. Although she doesn't speak Chinese, we were able to communicate using Google Translate and simple English. All the kimonos in the shop are beautiful, and the owner's skillful hands can make your hairstyle look amazing. Considering the price and the results, I highly recommend it! It was very hot that day, and the owner thoughtfully lent us an umbrella, which we really appreciated.

It's close to Okayama Station, with Bic Camera on the ground floor and direct access to Tenmaya HAPPY'S supermarket in the basement. Don Quijote, Takashimaya, and AEON Mall are also nearby, making it very convenient for shopping.

Located above Okayama Station, you can easily bring your purchases back to your room and continue shopping, making transportation and shopping very convenient. The hotel lobby also has a luggage scale, so you can know how much weight allowance you have left for shopping, which really understands travelers' needs.

This hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. It's on the 6th and 7th floors of a shopping mall, and there's a supermarket on the first basement level where you can buy fruits, milk, and snacks. It's very close to the train station, Aeon Mall, and Takashimaya, and there are 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Lawson convenience stores nearby. It truly brings together all your shopping needs in one place. There's also a large public bath on the 7th floor. The hotel service is exceptionally good, almost to the point of being embarrassing. Staff members will even escort you to the elevator door before leaving. Every day from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, you get one complimentary drink. The hotel also provides a luggage scale, which is incredibly convenient! There's even a map of recommended local eateries on the wall for guests to reference. The beds in the twin room are very large, like an extended single bed. The only minor drawback is that the bathroom is a bit small, but overall, it's a great hotel!

The hotel is clean and tidy, and close to Okayama Station, making it easy to travel to Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, Kojima, Uno, Takamatsu, and other stations. Most importantly, the hotel reception staff are enthusiastic and patient in resolving guest needs; the free amenities provided are plentiful.

What to know before visiting Okayama

Quick overview of Okayama’s travel rhythm

Okayama draws most bookings for attraction passes, historical sites, tours and museums, with demand peaking in spring and easing through late summer. Klook data shows a concentrated surge in April, while late summer sees the quietest booking levels.

When to visit and how prices behave

April is the busiest month for visitors, while August is the trough for demand. Prices on Klook are actually highest in August and typically drift lower into early summer, with June showing some of the lowest average prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in June or other shoulder months; if you want the full peak-season atmosphere, plan for April when demand is strongest. Note that demand and prices diverge here — the busiest month is not the priciest.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most experiences in Okayama can be booked at short notice, so a spontaneous itinerary works well. If you plan to travel in April, allow a bit more time to secure popular attraction passes and guided tours; for quieter months like June or August you’ll often find easier availability. Use Klook to check and book tickets and passes in advance when you want to lock in specific dates.
