Whatever the religion or whoever they're devoted to, shrines have a way of making you reflect. Visit Kibitsuhiko Shrine and share a moment of silence with the locals.
This sacred place is free to visit, which is great news if you're on a budget. Kibitsuhiko Shrine is located in Kita Ward. When you're ready to leave, Okayama Castle, Orient Museum and Kibitsu Shrine are nearby and also worth a look.
