Okayama Castle

Okayama Castle was built by Ukita Hideie, one of the daimyo under Toyotomi
Hideyoshi. Its keep is famous for its black outer walls and is known as "Crow
Castle." Archaeological discoveries have also unearthed gold-leaf tiles from
the Ukita era, suggesting that the main buildings within the castle used gold-
leaf tiles to display power, hence the nickname "Golden Crow Castle." Another
major attraction of Okayama Castle is the rare irregular pentagonal shape of
the keep's stone walls and the first floor plan, said to be a unique structure
adapted to the hilly terrain of Okayama.

The current castle tower was rebuilt in 1966. The museum presents historical
stories of the castle lords and the Sengoku to Edo periods through permanent
and special exhibitions, and incorporates the latest video technology to
recreate battle scenes. There is also an interactive area where visitors can
dress up as a warrior or princess for photos. Climbing the castle tower also
offers different perspectives of the cityscape of Okayama Castle.
