“Why are you going to Okayama?” To be fair, we got this question more than once while traveling around Japan.

I get it. It’s not really a tourist hot spot like Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka. So when we told people where we were going, there were certainly a few raised eyebrows.

But hear us out: Okayama is incredible! The city has enough things to do on its own like Okayama Castle, Korakuen Garden, and Kurashiki nearby!

AND

It’s a top-notch base for day trips to Hiroshima, Naoshima Art Island, Himeji, and more! So in this episode, we’re discussing the top things to do in Okayama Japan, best day trips from Okayama, and why we chose this lesser known city to spend 4 nights during our 2 week trip to Japan.
