Kick off your private shore excursion from Uno Port, travelling in the comfort of your own personal transport. This allows you to set your own pace without having to keep up with a large group.
First on the agenda is a visit to Okayama Korakuen Garden, one of Japan’s most renowned landscape gardens. Take a leisurely stroll through its expansive grounds, which boast ponds, streams, lawns and traditional buildings. The garden's meticulously curated seasonal scenery provides a feast for the eyes, while the imposing silhouette of Okayama Castle adds an impressive backdrop.
Next, head over to Okayama Castle itself. This striking structure, often referred to as “Crow Castle” due to its distinctive black exterior, invites exploration. Venture into the reconstructed castle tower and delve into the history of Okayama and the feudal lords who played pivotal roles in shaping the region.
After exploring two of Okayama’s most iconic historical attractions, return comfortably to Uno Port in time for your ship’s departure.
