Okayama Castle, also known as "Crow Castle" due to its black exterior, is a prominent historic landmark located in Okayama, Japan. Originally constructed in 1597 by the feudal lord Ukita Naoie, the castle served as a symbol of power and authority in the region. The original structure was destroyed during World War II, but it was meticulously reconstructed in 1966, preserving its traditional architectural style. The castle grounds offer a picturesque setting with the adjacent Korakuen Garden, one of Japan's three great gardens, enhancing its scenic beauty.
