Majestic Himeji | Timeless Kurashiki | Picturesque Korakuen | Indigo Kojima

Discover a different side of western Japan.

We visit the magnificent Himeji Castle, Japan’s most famous and best-preserved feudal castle, before wandering through the charming canals and historic streets of Kurashiki’s Bikan Historical Quarter. We also enjoy a fusion Japanese multi-course dinner in Sami in Kurashiki. The journey continues in Okayama, where we discover the breathtaking Korakuen Garden, one of the country’s most celebrated gardens. We then explore the iconic Okayama Castle, known as the “Crow Castle,” before ending in Kojima, the birthplace of Japanese denim and home to the famous Kojima Jeans Street. It is also where Momotaro Jeans, renowned for its uncompromising dedication to traditional craftsmanship, originated from.

Whether you’re planning your next Japan trip or simply love discovering hidden gems, this video showcases why Okayama and Hyogo prefectures are among Japan’s most rewarding destinations.
