Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tsuyama is a city in northern Okayama. Discover castle-town history through stone walls at the castle site and a pond garden. Do not expect a surviving keep; check current visiting conditions for the park and restored turret.

This guide covers places within Tsuyama, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Tsuyama horumon udon serving example in 2022
This does not guarantee a current menu or ingredient origin

Horumon udon is introduced as a Tsuyama dish of offal and vegetables stir-fried with udon. The photo is a serving example from 2022, not a current menu at a specific restaurant. Confirm cuts, sauces, allergens and availability rather than assuming every ingredient is from Tsuyama.
