town in Oda district, Okayama prefecture, Japan
Yakage (矢掛町) is in Okayama, Japan.
Yakage was built up as a post-town, the Yakage-juku, along the Old Sanyo Road that connected the area to Edo.
The local DMO (Destination Management Organization) has a multilingual guide site.
Ibara Railway (井原鉄道) runs through Yakage with three stations falling within town limits; Oda, Yakage, and Mitani. It can be accessed from Okayama by changing trains at Kiyone Station in Kurashiki or Soja Station in Soja. On the opposite terminus, the line is accessible from Kannabe Station in Fukuyama. Ibara Railway offers a "Super Holiday Pass" (スーパーホリデーパス) on weekends and holidays for ¥1400. It provides savings for a roundtrip ticket to Yakage from Kannabe.
