In the northwestern part of Okayama prefecture, a cityscape suddenly appears in the mountains at an altitude of 550 meters. It's not just a walk through the red streets, which have a nostalgic atmosphere; why did this area prosper and remain until the present day? This is a tour where you can learn in depth by comparing it to the story of the birthplace of Japan Red registered as a Japan Heritage Site.

The beginning of the trip began with Bicchu Takahashi, which has the atmosphere of Little Kyoto, which is one of the 12 existing castle towers and has Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, which is also the only mountain castle with an existing castle tower in Japan. It is also easily accessible, about 30 minutes by express or express train from Okayama Station on the JR Hakubi Line and about 20 minutes from Kurashiki Station.
