Coisas para fazer em Okayama

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! 😆

Troquei 3 passes de viagem: Kurashiki, Castelo de Okayama e Okayama Ichibangai. Não troquei o Korakuen porque estava muito quente naquele dia e não queria andar. Em Kurashiki, lembre-se de trocar no centro de informações turísticas à direita depois de sair da estação. O Castelo de Okayama pode ser trocado diretamente na bilheteria e o sorvete no 1º andar. O passe Ichibangai deve ser trocado no balcão de atendimento. Comprar sapatos na ABC com dois descontos de 3000 ienes cada é muito vantajoso.

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.

I had a wonderful kimono experience in Kurashiki! The staff was incredibly kind and patient, letting me try different options until I found the kimono I loved. The whole process felt very personal — from dressing in all the layers to choosing the bag and shoes. She also did my hair and used the kanzashi I had made earlier in my trip, which made it even more special. Afterwards, she took photos of me around Kurashiki. Even though it was the end of sakura season, the canal and streets were still beautiful. She gave helpful posing tips and encouraged my own ideas. Overall, a really warm and memorable experience. I was unsure at first how it would feel as a foreigner, but the reactions were very kind and positive. Highly recommend this Kimono experience if you're visiting Kurashiki.
