I recommend making a trip to Fukiya Furusato Village!! Also, there's a great Kanten jelly shop called Kanten Papa that I love that has a branch in Okayama City.

Okayama as a city is unremarkable (a typically post-War Japanese semi-industrial city). It has a wonderful park (Korakuen), a nice (reconstructed) castle and many interesting nearby areas of interest (especially in the Bizen--if you can find them.
