Okayama is not at the top of most tourists bucket lists when coming to Japan. Even though it is a fairly large and centrally located city, I have never really heard anyone talk about it or suggest going there. But considering it was an easy stop on the Shinkansen line, I decided to give it a go for a few days and boy was I surprised! This city is definitely a gem of a find and where I would suggest going if you are looking for a much more 'local' big city experience.

The travel health insurance I use PassportCard Nomads: https://www.passportcardnomads.com/?r...

*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don't have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad. I am an affiliate of this company, but of course use the plans myself.
