Exclusive for Taiwanese only: Win a free 5-day, 4-night trip to Okayama

By MOOK Scenic Spots House, compiled and reported 

The number of travelers visiting Okayama has been increasing year by year, and Taiwan’s Tigerair’s daily direct flights to Okayama have brought the two places even closer.

Located in the Chugoku region of Japan, Okayama Prefecture boasts not only well-known attractions such as the "Korakuen Garden"—one of Japan’s top three traditional gardens, "Okayama Castle"—ranked among Japan’s top 100 castles, the "Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter"—a preserved district of important traditional buildings, the "Kojima Jeans Street"—the mecca of denim, and the "Seto Ohashi Bridge", but also hidden gems like the "Kibitsu Shrine"—the origin of the Momotaro legend, the relaxing "Mimasaka Three Hot Springs", and the "Tsuyama Castle & Tsuruyama Park"—selected among Japan’s best cherry blossom spots, all of which are well worth a visit.
