Okayama Korakuen

Beautiful Japanese garden even in winter and well worth the ticket price of 410 yen. Very neat and well-maintained, and in some parts you can also see Okayama Castle in the background.
A full walking loop of the gardens should take around 40 minutes to an hour. There are plenty of bathrooms inside, as well as souvenir shops and some food.

One of the most peaceful places to visit. Could spend hours and hours and have a lovely time with yourself and your loved ones. Just something we'll always treasure in our hearts and minds. A totally worth spot to visit when in Okayama, Momotaro's home ground

Definitely must see! Great place to enjoy a picnic and photographer's paradise. Guided tours available. Staff is very polite, and even explained the bus protocol after some confusion. The grounds are well maintained and absolutely amazing. Calendars available at front full of day and night events. Some areas are not wheelchair accessible, but the majority of the park is flat and gravel

Had an early morning walk around here,was very quite and an easy way to spend 2/3 hours just strolling about. Plenty of different areas to visit within the gardnen with ice cream coffee shops etc around to take a break at. Would recommend going in the morning as when I was leaving it was getting busier.

A lovely garden to walk around and well worth a visit if you're in Okayama! Everything is very neat and pretty, and the garden is quite big so it doesn't feel crowded. I think you can buy a combined ticket for the garden and Okayama Castle which seems like a good deal.

Such a beautiful garden! Great spot for photography or Instagrammers. Pair your visit here with Okayama castle and it's only 650 yen for both spots.

Beautiful garden to stroll around. Many cafes and tea houses to enjoy as well. Very close to the castle. Well worth the combination ticket to the castle. Plan 1-2 hours.
Plenty of bathrooms.

I was coming at the same day with my visit to Okayama Castle because they offer the ticket for both entrance. This garden was regarded as one of the three best gardens in Japan, with Kanazawa Kenrokuen and Mito Kairakuen being the other two. Inside the garden, you can see many objects, such as the pond, named as Sawa-no-ike pond and a manmade hill called ad Yuishinzan. This artificial hill stands for about 6 meters, built by Lord Ikeda Tsugumasa, to observe the beauty of the entire building. Also, you can see the enyotei house and ryuten rest house inside this place.

Okayama korakuen garden is filled with green. Even though it's a rainy day, I can sense the serene vibe. There are two more famous gardens in Japan. Hope I have the chance to travel there.

One of the most interesting, beautiful and diverse gardens I've ever been to. A great place to recharge batteries after travelling and a lot of sightseeing

beautiful garden with traditional houses. there are few small cafes to get dessert and matcha. you can go around the whole park within an hr

The must-visit garden on Okayama.
Try the green tea, and just relax in there.

I spent 2 hours relaxing here.

One of the best gardens in Japan!

Beautiful garden to visit after visiting Okayama castle. Get the combo ticket to save money.

Note that visiting in the fall there are not much plants in bloom.

Beautiful garden which can be admired during every season. Perfect for a stroll, drinking matcha or taking instagrammable photos. The castle is right next to the garden.

Early September is a great time to visit without crowds and enjoy the beauty of the garden. The ponds full of koi and turtles, small rice and lotus fields together with numerous bridges together with the splendid view of the castle totally worth the visit.

Highly recommended! Park is beautiful, not too massive in size. We saw beautiful crane for the first time 😍. Very serene feel, plenty of bench/spots to sit. Not very busy when we came during golden week. I enjoyed this park very much and if you are looking to get some air, enjoy the wind rustling.. go visit!

On top of that every season has different activities too. We came in the spring where they had night illumination. And there was tea picking & ceremony the week prior..etc

A picturesque garden is a must visit place for any visitors to see Japanese nature.

My friends and I are very grateful to be able.to visit this beautiful park on our onsen trip. Must visit.

Visited the sometime end of November. A must go place if you're in Okayama. The garden was beautiful
