Okayama Prefectural Museum of Art

This impressive collection of art from the ancient Middle East, Persia and the Mediterranean includes a magnificent Assyrian relief of Apkallu.

Thousands of years of history and a certified national treasure are housed in a museum dedicated to the preservation of Okayama’s long heritage.

Tradition and innovation mingle in a remarkable riverside landscaped space, founded in the 17th century and considered one of Japan’s best gardens.

Centered on his iconic pieces, the Yumeji women, one of Japan’s most famous cultural figures started a truly aesthetic movement.

Swords and Bizen pottery are part of an astounding private collection that has been expanded into a full museum on the grounds of the former palace.

Try on a kimono or attempt to sculpt some Bizen pottery while you tour an accurate reconstruction of Kyushu’s famous “crow castle.”
