Day 5 - part 2: Okayama Sunset Magic

Once we arrived in Okayama, we dropped our bags and went straight to Okayama Castle and Kōraku-en Garden for sunset. The timing couldn’t have been better—golden light, calm ponds, and perfect reflections everywhere. Since reflections are basically our photographic love language, we turned into two excited children, running from angle to angle and photographing every ripple.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get better, darkness fell—and suddenly the entire garden lit up in vibrant colours. Bridges, trees, water, everything glowing beautifully. We stayed far longer than planned, soaking in the atmosphere and capturing the illuminated scenes until our memory cards begged for mercy.

A perfect welcome to Okayama.Läs mer
