Okayama Prefecture is widely known as a land deeply connected with the Japanese folktale “Momotaro.” Many regions around Japan claim to be the hero’s birthplace, but Okayama carefully links the story with the ancient legends and historic sites of the former Kibi Province, and has continuously promoted itself in school education, tourist brochures, and local PR as “the hometown of Momotaro.” The very experience of being greeted by Momotaro motifs as soon as you step out of the station leaves visitors with the strong impression that this is the setting of the tale.
