I visited the Kibitsu Shrine on my way to Okayama and was very impressed by this shrine. The shrine was massive and beautiful. There are huge parking lots that are free here. After parking I recommend walking to the main temple area, then the covered walkway, then cross the street to visit the other shrines and gardens in the small town. The whole area is well designed and beautiful. I was here on a Friday morning and it was not very crowded felt like I had the place to myself. The shrine is well protected and they take very good care of the property. I think this shrine is a must if in the area.

Although it looks like a typical castle in Japan that tells its history and shows valuable objects, with its black appearance and the Okayama City & beautiful Korakuen Garden viewpoint above is a difference that must be visited. There are also rental services for ancient noble clothes, photo spots inside the building and entrance tickets included the Castle and Korakuen Garden sold at a reasonable price.

Other than Okayama city information, they have information and brochours for the entire Okayama prefecture. They also offer luggage storage services and free wifi. It's located in the underground shopping center under Okayama station (ichi ban gai)
8. AEON MALL Mall Okayama

Reviewed By TheDoor_isopen - Tuggeranong, Australia
I had to get directions from Tourist Information for this mall as it wasn't well signposted. You can however, walk through the myriad of tunnels to it from Okayama Station. There's a Tokyo Hands and Aeon Style store and many other chain stores. There are a lot of "beauty" and clothing shops and a comprehensive world wide supermarket, wine shop and information centre. It's one of the biggest malls I've seen so far in Japan. It can be a bit overwhelming.

We came to Okayama for the day and combined it with a visit to Kurashiki which I highly recommend. While trying to visit Okayama Castle and Korakuen Garden, we took the tram from the Okayama Train Station to ease up on all the walking. One of the cars we got in was named Tama, a cat, and it was super cute. Even the inside was decorated with her likeness. The ride costs 100 yen per person and it is a cheap and easy way to move around Okayama. And who knows, you might end up on a super cute tram.
