We will meet at the parking just above the baseball diamonds.  We will walk to Sougenji temple.  There is a famous cherry tree there by a lake.  It may be a little early, but it will be a nice walk. It's about a 4km hike to the temple and 4km back.

 

One-Way      4km

Round trip    8km

 

On the way home, you can take a bus which is 10 minutes back to the car park or 25 mins to Okayama station.  Or you could turn around and walk back.  It depends how genki you feel.
