Okayama
Okayama Prefecture (Okayama-ken) is located in the Chugoku region on Honshu
island, Japan. The capital is the city of Okayama. The city is known as
the site of the Korakuen Garden, It is one of the Three Great Gardens of
Japan, along with Kenroku-en and Kairaku-en. Korakuen was built in 1700
by Ikeda Tsunamasa, lord of Okayama.and the striking black Okayama Castle.
It is popularly known as Crow Castle, so named because unlike every other
castle in the country (except Matsumoto's, which shares the nickname) it
has been painted a striking black, only a few protruding bits and the occasional
lucky fish-gargoyle gilded. The popular Japanese folktale of Momotaro may
have originated there.
