Each One is Different - only 100 yen for the ride

Dec 2019

We came to Okayama for the day and combined it with a visit to Kurashiki which I highly recommend. While trying to visit Okayama Castle and Korakuen Garden, we took the tram from the Okayama Train Station to ease up on all the walking. One of the cars we got in was named Tama, a cat, and it was super cute. Even the inside was decorated with her likeness. The ride costs 100 yen per person and it is a cheap and easy way to move around Okayama. And who knows, you might end up on a super cute tram.

Fun way to get around the city

Dec 2019 • Solo

This is an tram system but has been maintained and even upgraded. It is good to explore some parts of the city with cheap cost. They even have daily pass where you can ride many times. Some of the trams are decorated based on themes and are very cute. I took a cat theme tram and the stop buzzer made cat sound..

Efficient transportation means

Nov 2019

The tram system in Okayama was very efficient and easy to use by visitors. It covered most of the tourists spots around and value for money as well. Central city fare of Yen $100 and longer rides at Yen $140 were really acceptable.

Great way to get around town

Oct 2019

We bought the day pass and used it to get back and forth to the castle and gardens from our hotel near the train station. There are lots of trolleys including some really old nostalgic ones,along with some sleek modern ones. Hardly ever had to wait more than a few minutes to get one and the stops were nicely placed to get to the places you'd want to go.

¥100 yen for short rides; ¥140 for longer rides

Sep 2019 • Solo

I love this tram system. The train itself is very old, but if u r lucky, u ll come across the Tama special version of the tram.
¥100 for shorter rides; ¥140 for longer rides. National transport IC Card ❨eg SUICA, ICOCA, TOICA❩ accepted. Just touch in when u r getting on and touch out when getting off. If paying by cash, take a numbered ticket when getting on and drop your coins and numbered ticket when getting off.

Cheap and easy

May 2019 • Solo

Central city fare is 100 yen, and longer rides are 140. I used my ICOCA stored value card (touch on at rear of tram and touch off at driver's door). The old trams do the job and are quite beautiful. I did have some difficulty in identifying the routes of the trams.

Easy to use

Dec 2018 • Family

Very handy to get from the train station to most hotels. We used it to get from the station to our hotel which was about 1.5kms from the main JR station on one rainy morning.

Convenient and easy to use

Jun 2018 • Couples

We used this tram to get to Okayama Castle and Korakuen Gardens. You catch it from the middle of the roadway just outside the Okayama train station. It’s only 100 yen each way and leaves every 5 minutes.
