The scale is truly impressive—definitely worthy of being called Japan's largest lake.

Asian Resort Spa Seare
This spa resort is open 24 hours a day on weekends and offers natural hot springs. The water, which comes from 1,000 meters underground, is rich in salt and has an excellent moisturizing effect, warming the body from the core and gently soothing the fatigue of travel. Towels and other items are available for rent (additional fee required), so you can come empty-handed.
This place is perfect not just for families, but also for trips with your best friends. Enjoy the facilities and make some wonderful memories together!

Tsuyama Castle (Kakuzan Park)
Its predecessor was Tsuruyama Castle built by Tadamasa Yamana in 1441, which was abandoned during the Onin and Bunmei Wars. Later, Tadamasa Mori, the younger brother of Ranmaru Mori, known as a close aide of Oda Nobunaga, changed the castle’s name from "Tsuruyama" to "Tsuyama" and began to construct it. The magnificent castle was completed in 1604 after 13 years of work and it is one of the three great Hirayama castles in Japan.
Compared to the heavy beauty of Matsuyama Castle with its black walls and white eaves, I actually prefer Tsuyama Castle's white buildings accented by just a touch of black on the eaves. That lighter, more delicate look is really captivating!

Okayama Korakuen
Tsunamasa Ikeda, the feudal lord of Okayama ordered the creation of this garden as a spot of relaxation. In 1700, the garden was complete. As the years went by, the scenery of the garden changed. Once a relaxing spot, the garden gained kinetic energy with the creation of water streams, and lakes.
One of Japan's top three gardens—it's a must-see for anyone who loves gardening or landscape design!
