About Korakuen

Although the garden was built in the 1700s, the garden continues to retain the original structure ever since then, making it a highlight in many Japan tour packages. The garden continues to have paintings from the Edo period and the Ikeda family records too. Apart from the greenery and spots for entertaining guests, there is also a spa that is worth checking out. Later, the ownership was transferred to Okayama government and was opened to the public. Today, this garden is now declared as a special scenic location and is considered to be a historical asset.

For those on a Japan group tour, Okayama Castle, located just across from Korakuen Garden, is a must-visit landmark renowned for its massive structure. The castle is known as the crow castle because of its black outer wall, and is a major landmark in the city. This castle was originally built in 1597 and was later destroyed during World War 2. The current structure is still under construction and is worth exploring. Inside, you can learn about the history and even dress up as a feudal lord.
