A Slow and Serene Day at Okayama Korakuen Garden

#cityplaybook

If you’re looking for a peaceful day surrounded by nature and history, Okayama Korakuen Garden is just the place. As one of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, it offers a beautifully curated landscape that changes with the seasons—cherry blossoms in spring, irises in early summer, golden rice fields in autumn, and a soft, quiet beauty in winter.

Take your time walking along the stone paths, across the small bridges, and beside koi-filled ponds. It’s a perfect spot to simply pause, relax, and enjoy the gentle pace of the day.

Don’t forget to stop and admire the seasonal flowers and plants, which are carefully maintained and celebrated throughout the year. The contrast of the garden with the distant view of Okayama Castle adds a layer of charm that makes this place truly special.

Why I recommend Okayama Korakuen:
・You can experience Japan’s traditional garden culture in a peaceful setting
・It’s a perfect escape from the city, ideal for nature lovers and photographers

📍Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan
