Okayama is a city located in southwestern Japan, on Honshu Island. Known as the "Peach City" because it's the largest peach-producing center in Japan, Okayama boasts stunning natural beauty, with rivers flowing among lush green hills. One of its main attractions is the majestic Okayama Castle, also known as the "Black Castle" due to its dark-colored structure. This castle offers beautiful views of the city and the famous peach orchards nearby.
In addition to its natural beauty, Okayama is also rich in cultural heritage. The traditional wooden rural corridors, known as the "Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter," are a very popular spot for tourists. Here, visitors can enjoy well-preserved historical buildings, traditional craft shops, and charming cobbled streets that add to the city's charm.

Hiroshima is a lively city located in the Chugoku region, with a population of over one million residents. The city offers a busy downtown area, including Hondori, a pedestrian-only street filled with shops and restaurants. Aioi Street, a main road for cars and trams, is located nearby. Along Aioi Street, several large department stores are sure to attract shopping enthusiasts.
Apart from its urban life, Hiroshima is an ideal destination for nature lovers. Visitors can explore the dense forests, soak in natural hot springs, and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, water sports, and skiing. For a more tranquil experience, the peaceful towns of Onomichi and Tomonoura are worth a visit. Another must-see attraction is Itsukushima Shrine, a floating shrine with a red gate located in the middle of the sea on Miyajima Island. The Atomic Bomb Dome, a World Heritage Site in Hiroshima, and the surrounding Peace Memorial Park serve as monuments to peace. Hiroshima is also famous for its local cuisine, including delicious okonomiyaki, anago or sea eel, and various other dishes. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this beautiful city.

Located on the northernmost side of Shimane Prefecture and between Lake Shinji-Nakaumi, Matsue is a metropolitan city that beckons travelers to enjoy its charms. Matsue is nicknamed the "water city" due to its location between Lake Shinji, Lake Nakaumi, and the Sea of Japan. The iconic Matsue Castle is an architectural testament to the city, offering beautiful views of Lake Shinji.&nbsp;
As the capital of Shimane Prefecture, Matsue offers an equally beautiful cultural scene, with museums such as the Adachi Art Museum, Shimane Art Museum, and Tanabe Art Museum showcasing a stunning blend of nature and contemporary art. The serene cityscape, traditional tea houses, and captivating Noh performances make Matsue an alluring destination for those seeking an authentic Japanese experience.
