Okayama thumbnails Okayama is a pleasant and very livable-seeming (well, I had just come from Tokyo) city in the Kansai on the way from Osaka to Hiroshima.After I left Ushimado, I spent a night in Okayama before heading back to the wilds of Tokyo. Okayama is the prefectural capital of the like-named prefecture, and that government was the sponsor of the International Villas at Hattoji and Ushimado. Okayama prefecture clearly has a bunch of powerful Dietmen, because the evidence of rampant government spending is all over the prefecture -- whether it's the International Villas, the incredible number of nearly-unused highways crisscrossing the area, or the museums, they've got the funding. www.stoneschool.com /Japan/Okayama   (487 words)

Ushimado, part of Okayama, was the landing place of a delegation that traveled from Busan through the island of Sushima to the Seto inland sea waterway for its overland journey towards Edo. Okayama’s nature and climate is good enough to be called, “Heaven’s Blessing.” In the north, the Chugoku mountains, in the south, the Seto inland sea, and in between plateaus and plains have developed so that the four seasons are distinct. english.donga.com /srv/service.php3?bicode=130000&biid=2006051281468   (506 words)
