Okayama: The Land of Canals, Gardens and Momotaro the Peach Boy

The home of stunning canals, one of the country’s top three landscape gardens, and the origin of Japan’s most well-known folktale, it’s genuinely surprising that Okayama Prefecture is not more visited among tourists.

In this Japan Guide article, I explore Kurashiki, the Kibiji District, and Korakuen. Those names won’t mean much to you right now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if one made it onto your Japan bucket list soon!
