Okayama, Capital city in western Honshu, Japan.
Located in southern Okayama Prefecture, the city spreads across the Okayama Plain with gentle hills in the north and two rivers flowing into Kojima Bay.
The settlement developed from a small castle town during the Edo Period to become a regional economic center and transportation hub in western Japan.
The Korakuen garden stands among Japan's three finest landscape gardens, featuring traditional elements such as tea houses, streams, and miniature rice fields.
The Sanyo Shinkansen station functions as a central transportation node, connecting rail services to Shikoku through the Seto-Ohashi Bridge network.
The city records the highest number of sunny days in Japan, contributing to the cultivation of white peaches and Muscat grapes throughout the region.
