From a visiting cat's perspective, Okayama can be quite expensive for shopping and dining out, especially in popular tourist areas. However, transportation is relatively affordable and convenient.

Look for local markets and eateries outside of tourist spots for cheaper options. Consider using public transportation or renting a bike to save money on getting around.
