Its keep is famous for its black outer walls and is known as "Crow Castle." Archaeological discoveries have also unearthed gold-leaf tiles from the Ukita era, suggesting that the main buildings within the castle used gold-leaf tiles to display power, hence the nickname "Golden Crow Castle." Another major attraction of Okayama Castle is the rare irregular pentagonal shape of the keep's stone walls and the first floor plan, said to be a unique structure adapted to the hilly terrain of Okayama. The current castle tower was rebuilt in 1966. The museum presents historical stories of the castle lords and the Sengoku to Edo periods through permanent and special exhibitions, and incorporates the latest video technology to recreate battle scenes. There is also an interactive area where visitors can dress up as a warrior or princess for photos. Climbing the castle tower also offers different perspectives of the cityscape of Okayama Castle.
