Tour itinerary

Day 1-2

Okayama, Korakuen garden

We arrive in Okayama (or Osaka/Tokyo and reach Okayama by train) This city boasts one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan - Korakuen, which we will visit the next day. The local ruler eastablished this elegant garden back in 1700 and used it to welcome and entertain his important guests. After almost two centuries, it was opened to general public. 

Inspired by the beautiful nature and mesmerizing autumn colors, we go to the Castle of Crow. Unusually for a Japanese temple, it is painted in a dark color! Next, we head to the the nearby town of Kurashiki. Here we will feel like the people of old Japan, riding boats on many canals and observing cozy streets and elegant houses of the 17-19 centuries. Very laid-back town!

Day 3

Miyajima Island, Hiroshima

In the morning we go to Hiroshima (40 minutes by train) and take a ferry to Miyajima Island, which is familiar to many from the photos from the torii (gates) in the water. We take a cable car to the top of the mountain to appreciate the views of the sea. These places are considered one of the most beautiful in the country. And for good reason! It really takes your breath away!

We examine the temple on the top of the mountain, and in the evening return to Hiroshima. We will visit the Memorial Peace Park, located on the territory of the former Nakajima district. It was completely destroyed by atomic bombing on August 6, 1945. Just one one building survived in the center - the former Exhibition Center. Night in Okayama.

Day 4

Naosima island, Chichu Art Museum

We take a train and a ferry to the cozy island of Naosima (1.5-2 hours on the way), turned into an art object. We will visit Chichu Art Museum, the famous building of the genius Japanese architect Tadao Ando. It boasts not only objects of contemporary art, but also classical masterpieces of world masters. One of our favorite exhibits is the “Water Lilies” series by Claude Monet. This is not just a painting, it is a meditation!

We walk around the island and find unusual sculptures and houses. Of course, the main "star" of the island is a huge spotted pumpkin on the seafront, which was created by the famous Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. In the evening we return to Okayama (1 hour on the way).
