Okayama - The Land of Sunshine

Sunshine Village meets the Land of Sunshine!

Okayama Prefecture, due to its high average of sunny days compared with anywhere else in Japan, is nicknamed the Land of Sunshine! Due to its mild and consistent weather, Okayama is a pleasant location to reside or visit all year round.

This abundant sunshine allows the orchards of Okayama to produce strawberries, peaches, grapes, olives and pears which are prized for their sweetness and aroma. Hands-on fruit picking experiences are possible at many farms in Okayama where fresh fruit can be consumed on the spot.

Setouchi City is the gateway to all of the islands that take part in the "world famous" Setouchi Art Festival which include Shodoshima, Teshima, Naoshima, Ogijima, Megijima, Ishima and Inujima.
