Tsuyama City is the central city of northern Okayama Prefecture, a city of history where the remnants of a castle town strongly remain. Its symbol, "Tsuyama Castle," is one of the best cherry blossom spots in Western Japan, and its towering, magnificent stone walls symbolize the strength of Japanese castle architecture. The "Joto Streetscape Preservation District," where Edo-period merchant houses line up, is ideal for those who want to enjoy quiet Japanese sentiment. Additionally, you can experience multi-layered charms such as unique food culture like "Tsuyama Hormone Udon" using fresh offal, and facilities where you can learn about railway heritage.

This is a railway museum utilizing the "Former Tsuyama Roundhouse," the second largest in Japan.
