Korakuen is a daimyo stroll garden of lawns, ponds and tea houses, and the black keep of Okayama Castle stands behind it across the river.
It is what the expedition lines sell from Uno: Island Sky’s port name for the day is “Koraku-en & Kurashiki”, and Heritage Expeditions visits Koraku-en from the port before Kurashiki.
Three things the plaques won't tell you
- Buy the ¥800 joint ticket if you will also go into the castle.
- Payment by card, IC card or QR code is accepted at the gates.
- From Okayama Station the Korakuen bus takes 10 minutes; a taxi about 10 minutes.
