Most of the population is concentrated around the historic towns of Kurashiki and Okayama. The small villages in the northern mountain region are aging and declining in population - more than half of the prefecture’s municipalities are officially designated as depopulated. [2] Climate Okayama has a mild climate compared to most of Japan. Thanks to an extremely low level of rain and one of the highest numbers of sunny days per year, the prefecture is nicknamed the “Sunny Country”. [2] Time zone GMT +7 in summer (+8 in winter) International dialling code: 0081 Recent history, culture Okayama is where the well known legend of Momotaro was born and as a result it has become a symbol of the prefecture. It relates the story of how an old, childless couple saw a giant peach floating down a river. They opened it with the intention of eating it but found a boy inside and decided to adopt him as their son. Years later, the boy known as Momotaro left his parents and went to fight a band of marauding oni (demons or ogres) on a distant island. En route, Momotaro met and befriended a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant, who agreed to help him in his quest. Once the demons were defeated, the group of heroes returned home with the demons’ treasure. [3] Economic overview Okayama Prefecture boasts the Mizushima Industrial District in Kurashiki City, where many large-scale Japanese companies with cutting-edge technologies in the petroleum, chemical, steel, and automobile industries have their production facilities. It has also developed nationally known local industries with advanced technologies and original products such as textile, refractory, and machinery/metal industries.

With its vast land and nature, Hokkaido is known to many tourists as a treasure trove of food, including seafood, agriculture, dairy products, wine, and sake. Of all the edible wonders this prefecture offers, there is one unique item that is not only popular among tourists, but is also a staple for locals: Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan is a lamb/mutton barbeque that uses uniquely-shaped skillets. One of the most common skillet shapes is that of a soldier’s helmet. The meat is grilled in the centre of the skillet, which rises in the middle like a mountain, and fresh local vegetables—common choices are bean sprouts, cabbage, onions, and pumpkin slices—are steamed on the rims with the juice that flows from the meat on top. Genghis Khan is often prepared in a cook-your-own style: diners grill the meat and vegetables by themselves, whether they are at home or in a restaurant. This makes Genghis Khan a great social opportunity as well, and even locals often go out to enjoy grilling up some Genghis Khan with glasses of local beer in hand.
