I visited the Kibitsu Shrine on my way to Okayama and was very impressed by this shrine. The shrine was massive and beautiful. There are huge parking lots that are free here. After parking I recommend walking to the main temple area, then the covered walkway, then cross the street to visit the other shrines and gardens in the small town. The whole area is well designed and beautiful. I was here on a Friday morning and it was not very crowded felt like I had the place to myself. The shrine is well protected and they take very good care of the property. I think this shrine is a must if in the area.

Although it looks like a typical castle in Japan that tells its history and shows valuable objects, with its black appearance and the Okayama City & beautiful Korakuen Garden viewpoint above is a difference that must be visited. There are also rental services for ancient noble clothes, photo spots inside the building and entrance tickets included the Castle and Korakuen Garden sold at a reasonable price.
