Sunny Country Okayama-kan

This impressive collection of art from the ancient Middle East, Persia and the Mediterranean includes a magnificent Assyrian relief of Apkallu.

Some of the city’s and region’s most influential artists, going far back into history, provide a sense of Okayama through artists’ eyes.

Swords and Bizen pottery are part of an astounding private collection that has been expanded into a full museum on the grounds of the former palace.

Thousands of years of history and a certified national treasure are housed in a museum dedicated to the preservation of Okayama’s long heritage.

After visiting Ujo Park, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Okayama. Amble around the area's gardens, or seek out its biking trails.

Try on a kimono or attempt to sculpt some Bizen pottery while you tour an accurate reconstruction of Kyushu’s famous “crow castle.”
