Okayama Castle

This castle is also referred to as Ujo meaning crow castle because of the black boards or Kinujo gold crow castle for the gold ornamentation.

The outside was impressive an some of the stone walls, but inside all the text was in Japanese and most of the building was blocked from exploration. I did take photos of a few interesting things.

A massive door.

You start at the top. Gold fish, this ain't no guppy.

A mirror and case.

Believe it or not this is a key to the salt room.

Really liked this picture and you could try on kimono, included with cost of admission.

Gotta have one scary guy around.

Before going back to Kurashiki I had a bowl of udon by the water enjoying a pleasant breeze.
