OKAYAMA KORAKUEN GARDEN (岡山後楽園) / BEST LANDSCAPE GARDEN IN JAPAN / PINOY ENGINEER IN JAPAN

Korakuen (後楽園, Kōrakuen) is a beautiful landscape garden and Okayama's main attraction. Along with Kanazawa's Kenrokuen and Mito's Kairakuen, Korakuen is ranked as one of Japan's three best landscape gardens. It is located just beside Okayama Castle, which can be seen from the garden as "borrowed scenery".
HOW TO GET THERE
Korakuen has two entrance gates: a main gate beside the Prefectural Museum and a south gate near the bridge that crosses to Okayama Castle.
Korakuen is about 1.5 kilometers or a 25-30 minute walk east of Okayama Station. Trams on the Higashiyama Line can be taken to Shiroshita stop (5 minutes, 120 yen one way, frequent departures) from where the garden's south gate can be reached in a 10-15 minute walk.
