Okayama Momoyama Period
1573 – 1603
Okayama Castle Nishite Yagura is the castle's other surviving turret: a small-windowed corner tower built for war around 1600, now inside a closed school's grounds.
Rebuilt in 1612, the Okamaden at Kibitsu Shrine hosts the narukama rite, a fortune read from the sound of a heated cauldron. It was designated in 1980.
Henshoji Temple Tahoto Pagoda, built in 1606, stands alone in Icho Park near Kasaoka Station after its temple moved. See the tiled dome, stone monument and ginkgo.
