Tour of Okayama Castle and Korakuen led by Ray - We had a great tour with our guide, Ray. She was very nice, helpful and easy to talk to. She went out of her way to help us find a quaint pottery shop called Sobian near the Okayama Railway Station. We ended up buying two special Bizen teacups. Thanks to Ray, we had a wonderful tour of Okayama Castle and Korakuen. We especially enjoyed seeing the Ted-Crowned Cranes, the beautiful and serene garden, and meandering along the winding paths viewing the tea trees, plum groves, ponds and bridges. Thank you Ray for a wonderful visit to Okayama. Aloha! Your friends from Hawaii, Steve and Louise.

Amazing - Ray (Reiko Takemaru) was an amazing guide who showed us the Okayama Castle and the Korakuen garden. She was excited to show us the famous sites of the city she grew up in! She spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and significance of each site. The tour helped us dive deeper into the history and the culture of Okayama. My husband and I enjoyed the tour very much!
