If you are planning to visit a castle, this one is much of a better choice than Hiroshima or Osaka castle. For a simple reason; this one is real, the others are fake. From Himeji station it's a 15-20 minute walk, passing by different shops with souvenirs and other stuff. The park of the castle itself is not impressive but the castle, completely manufactured out of wood, is something special and very well preserved. I'm sure tons of rework and maintenance is being carried out to keep it in it's original shape but it remains cool to walk through. There is a designated walking route through the castle which brings you all the way to the top floor with some great views over Himeji. After your visit, it's totally worth visiting the neighboring garden Koko-en. I would say, for both the castle and graden, a 2,5 to 3 hours is enough traveling time excluded.

Amazing weather, slightly sunny but clear skies. Sights were interesting and insightful. There might be a queue as it is a popular tourist spot.

This castle is very beautiful, and it is relatively small. There are not many tourists. It rained when it came. The cherry blossoms 🌸 just bloomed. It is very pleasant to stroll here. Your Excellency Tianshou, a cherry tree is so beautiful, and the surrounding environment complements each other.

Okama, as the earliest main city developed by Ukido in the Warring States era in Japan, has been witnessing the development of the Edo Shogunate with the development of the Warring States era. It is also a bit historical. In order to promote tourism, many of them are commemorating Ukido. Anyway, the ticket in the Warring States is pulled over and put in the sky. Okama City is different from the complete city. At present, there are only one or two small gates in Tianshou and Benmaru, and because it is Pingcheng, there is no steep terrain, so if you come, it is mainly from the back park, because there are tickets, Therefore, there is no need to buy tickets for the city. There are a lot of displays in Tianshou Pavilion, which specially introduces the history of the city and some small experience projects. The city itself is not high. After climbing to the top, you can see the opposite river and the back park from the sky. This side is only separated from the back park by a river. After crossing an iron bridge, the scenery is still beautiful.

Hijiji City is Japan's three famous cities. The antique atmosphere here is very similar to Osaka City Nagoya City Kumamoto City. I like the feeling of this garden opening. Himeji City is also relatively open. There are no high-rise buildings. So I feel very livable and comfortable.

Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, although not as well-known as Osaka Castle, Matsuyama Castle, etc., but also belongs to one of Japan's 100 famous cities. It is not a popular place. It is not popular. It is also a lot of clean tours. The surrounding area of the small castle is green and well protected.

The mountain is not high, the city is not big, but the scenery is very good! Look out over Osaka Bay and the Oshima neighborhood!
