City & Venue Search

Okayama

Okayama City is a stop for all commercially operated trains on the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen line. It is also an important railway hub where seven train lines to/from the direction of Shikoku and Sanin and two city streetcar lines converge. That the train station, conference venues and hotels are directly connected enhances convenience significantly. Enjoy a sense of achievement and elation during discussions at Okayama Castle and Okayama Korakuen, where you can feel like a feudal lord, all within easy walking distance. Together with its communities, Okayama City strives to provide all-around support with information on pre- and post-convention tours and on a variety of other activities.
