Tsuyama Castle (Kakuzan Park)
Its predecessor was Tsuruyama Castle built by Tadamasa Yamana in 1441, which was abandoned during the Onin and Bunmei Wars. Later, Tadamasa Mori, the younger brother of Ranmaru Mori, known as a close aide of Oda Nobunaga, changed the castle’s name from "Tsuruyama" to "Tsuyama" and began to construct it. The magnificent castle was completed in 1604 after 13 years of work and it is one of the three great Hirayama castles in Japan.
Compared to the heavy beauty of Matsuyama Castle with its black walls and white eaves, I actually prefer Tsuyama Castle's white buildings accented by just a touch of black on the eaves. That lighter, more delicate look is really captivating!

Okayama Korakuen
Tsunamasa Ikeda, the feudal lord of Okayama ordered the creation of this garden as a spot of relaxation. In 1700, the garden was complete. As the years went by, the scenery of the garden changed. Once a relaxing spot, the garden gained kinetic energy with the creation of water streams, and lakes.
One of Japan's top three gardens—it's a must-see for anyone who loves gardening or landscape design!

Joeiji Temple Sesshu-tei Garden
Sesshu was one of ink-wash painters and a zen monk in the Muromachi Period. Sponsored by the Ouchi Family, he moved to Suwa, then Ming (China) and learned how to paint with ink. He became a renowned master, and six of his paintings are designated as national treasures, such as Amano-hashidate and Shiki Sansui. He is a giant in the history of Japanese painting.
The garden pond is so calm, like a mirror. The dry landscape and the way the stones are arranged in the pond look random but actually feel very intentional. It really has that Zen vibe you see in ink paintings!
