The exhibition inside the castle will be completely renewed. The supervisor is Mr. Michifumi Isoda, a historian from Okayama City.

Mr. Isoda, who has been familiar with Okayama Castle since childhood, will lay out exhibits systematically focusing on narratives under the theme of “Entrance to the History of Okayama.”

A castle is a place where history is accumulated. Placing importance on this perspective, we will offer hands-on exhibits and explanations rich in content through video and other media. You can experience Okayama's history including historical figures and events with your five senses, and enjoy various discoveries and encounters.

Here, you can learn about history. Your intellectual curiosity will be stimulated and you will grow to love history even more.

We plan to hold various events such as history classes and workshops for children as well as tours and special exhibitions for enthusiastic history buffs.

The first floor will be renovated into a multipurpose space that can be rented out almost entirely. By securing a space about twice as large as that before renovations, completely new utilization of the castle will be realized. The interior of Honmaru (main enclosure and keep) will adopt barrier-free designs. In addition, illumination will be extended from the Tenshu (castle tower) to the stone walls and paths around the park, enhancing the presence of Okayama Castle as a landmark.

We will promote the utilization of Ujo Park including an open space in front of the Tenshukaku not only for holding events but also for everyday use by citizens as a place to relax. Working closely with cultural facilities around Okayama Castle, we will promote local tourism that improves accessibility around the city center.
