  • We were here: in March 2016. It is the last place I’ve been by now.
  • Number of days: 4 hours.

The perfect day trip from Prague is this small city where in addition to the architecture of its beautiful buildings, the star is the thermal water that flows every few meters.

  • Number of days recommended: half day.
  • My score: 3/5.

So, if my score is 3-5, I usually mean that it is okay to visit but I would not repeat it, why have I come here twice? Because the first time I arrived late and the Korakuen was closed. Okayama (岡山) only has these two attractions, but I think they are interesting enough for a visit. Continue reading “OKAYAMA: KORAKUEN GARDEN AND THE CASTLE” →
