A good view of the entrance to the Okayama Castle Turret area... and the stairs climbing away to the Turret grounds that housed the earlier buildings...




The entrance to the Okayama Castle Turret area... Absolutely fantastic doors and castle walls... extremely clean... Reminds one of the MARATHA forts of Maharashtra...

Information about the Okayama Castle. It's written - "Okayama Castle was built in 1597 by Lord Ukila who governed Okayama, then known as the province of Bizen. Was nicknamed UJO (Crow Castle) stemming from the black exterior. The original castle was destroyed during a World War II air raid and reconstructed in 1956."
