Tsuyama City, the center of the Mimasaka area in northern Okayama Prefecture, grew from the castle town of Tsuyama Castle, built by Mori Tadamasa. The castle ruins, with stone walls, are famous for cherry blossoms. Shuraku-en, a feudal lord's garden, and the Joto historic townscape on the Izumo Road are highlights. Horumon udon (noodles with offal) is a specialty.
