Okayama Castle is in the city of Okayama in Okayama Prefecture in Japan. The main tower was completed in 1597, but destroyed by allied planes in 1945 and replicated in concrete in 1966. It's mainly a museum and venue for weddings as it is near the Okayama Korakuen Gardens. During Sakura (Cherry Blossoms Season) this place is very busy with tourist and locals enjoying the Spring weather.
