    Well worth a stop

    On our way from Hattoji international villa to Okayama, we stopped here. Very interesting and quiet spot - would be lovely to take a picnic and on a sunny day.

    School for the common people opened in the mountains The auditorium that still emits beauty is a surprising space

    Original Text

    An educational facility for the common people established by Mitsumasa Ikeda, the Lord of Okayama domain, by ordering his vassal nagatada Tsuda. I visited for the first time, but after completion, even after ３００ years, the majesty of the facilities completed with the best of ３０ years and architectural technology, such as the auditorium that emits beauty and the stone wall surrounding the surroundings, is transmitted. I recommend a historic site to visit.
