Developed along the street running parallel to the Karakoto no Seto Strait it's home to a number of traditional buildings and historical landmarks including Honrenji Temple and the remains of the tea house that welcomed the Korean delegation to Japan during the Edo period, white walled storehouses, streetscape with latticed doors, the Former Bank of China Building, and the site of Torodo Lantern Tower. This is also where the film ""Kanzo Sensei (Dr. Akagi)"" was shot and many of the buildings used in the film and commemorative plaques still remain."

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
