I rode the bullet train until it stopped one night in 2010, which happened to be Okayama, and planned to stay a couple of days, but ended up staying a whole week, travelling to nearby places like Bizen, Kurashiki, also Kobe&#39;s White Heron Castle, (which was closing the next day for a big refurbishment,) and Hiroshhima. There were, for the size of the city, a concentration of interesting museums large and small, including a few of Takehisa Yumeji, as well as lovely local trains and smaller communities as I recall. It was akin to time travel without giving up the 21C amenities because my hotel was above the big Yodobashi Camera across the street from the station. Good times.
