Okayama is full of little gems often overlooked by the average traveler. One of these is Miyamoto no Sato, a small little village located near Mimasaka. This place is known as the birthplace of the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, the most successful duelist and most famous swordsman in Japanese history. From the town's center and parking area, one only has to follow the signs and maps to reach the decorated master's grave. Located in a small graveyard in the woods, it is adjacent to a shrine of Musashi himself. If you come out to Okayama, you simply must drop by and pay your respects to the late and great dual-wielding legend.

The entrance to Musashi's shrine. Located just a 10 minute walk from the center of Miyamoto no Sato (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

How lucky does one have to be in order to share a grave site alongside a legend? (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

Here he lies. Resting in peace, after a lifetime of battle (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

Very pretty, and perhaps, very haunted (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

Back in town, make sure to enjoy the quaint and old fashioned buildings (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

Historical buildings are tucked here and there, but not all are open to the public! (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

Injured a long time ago, this beautiful Eagle is kept by an old shopkeeper in the middle of town. Don't stand too close, however, it is protective of its home! (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

Can you imagine, a young Musashi walking around his village? Here, you can see what he used to see. (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

The countryside in Okayama is beautiful and full of photo opportunities. If one continues along the same road beyond Musashi's shrine and burial site, there are few more sights to see. Among them are a delicious spring of water, which flows continually all year. (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)

Mimasaka is beautiful, every corner of it demands attention (Фотография: Bret de Colebi)
