    Sun Station Terrace is a shopping mall which is located inside JR Okayama station building. Apparently it is newly opened (or renovated), and so it is very clean and appealing. I didn’t visit the whole area, but it seem that it is not only for tourists but also for local shoppers. Of course, you can buy souvenirs of Okayama too. I bought Kibudango, a famous local sweet.

    Oh my, what a gem! It was not on any English guide we saw, we learned about it by chance and decided to combine it with Hakuto Shrine day trip. We went to the nearest JR station, walked 15 min by Togo Lake, and found ourselves in a charismatic Chinese Garden. I can't believe the Chinese clothes rental was just 500 yen, included shoes, and had no time limit. What a steal! They have up to XXL sizes in here, also a bunch of robes for men, so you can have a really extraordinary quality couple time in here with incredible photos at an incredible place. Really there is not a single reason not to come here. Oh, and did I mention they have complimentary acrobatics shows 3 times per day in here (9.30, 13, and 15 I think)? It's actually good stuff, an impressive show of skill. If you have any time to spare on your Tottori trip, definitely come here! See more..
