The garden is located on the north bank of the Aashi River on an island between the river and a developed part of the city. The garden was designed in "scenic promenade" style. This presents the visitor with a new view at every turn of the path which connects the lawns, ponds, hills, tea houses, and streams.

Sawanoike Pond: The largest pond in the Korakuen. Sawanoike Pond contains a Nakanoshima Island, Misoshima Island with a beautiful fishing palace, and Jarijima Island with beautiful white sand and green pine trees.
Korakuen was built by the order of Ikeda Tsunamasa, the fourth lord of Okayama Castle in 1700. Korakuen was designed in the Chisan Kaiyu Style (landscaped around a large pond) of Japanese Garden.
For a moment looks like a golf course
Such a relaxing stroll
