The Sanyo Shinkansen, Hakubi Line, Sanyo Expressway, Chugoku Jukan Road, Seto Chuo Expressway, With railways and expressways such as the Okayama Road running vertically and horizontally, it has a geographical advantage as a connecting point of transportation between Kinki, Kyushu, Sanyo, Sanin, and Shikoku.
In addition, Kibi Plateau, which has been prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, has been attracting attention in recent years as a destination for the relocation of capital functions and data centers. In addition, there are three major rivers: Asahikawa, Takahashi River and Yoshii River, and it is blessed with abundant water resources. For this reason, large companies such as the Mizushima Industrial complex are concentrated downstream, making it a major production area for automobiles, steel, and textiles.
As for agricultural products, high-end fruits such as white peaches and Muscat are flourishing, and they are also exported overseas. Blessed with natural conditions, Okayama has unlimited possibilities in all industries.
