North Ward

Kita Ward lies along the Asahi River in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, where Okayama City extends across the broad Okayama Plain. It is the city’s administrative and transport core, centred on Okayama Station, a stop on the Sanyō Shinkansen. Near the river, Okayama Castle recalls the power of the Ikeda clan, while neighbouring Korakuen, created for the clan in 1700, is counted among Japan’s three great landscape gardens. Museums, covered shopping streets and university campuses give the ward a working-city rhythm beyond its formal heritage sites.
