Hayashima Town is surrounded by Okayama City and Kurashiki City and is the smallest town in Okayama Prefecture by area. It was once an island in the shallow Kibi Sea and became land through reclamation. The town prospered by producing igusa (rush) and tatami mat covers, and today it has the Okayama Prefectural Distribution Center and Convex Okayama.
