Tour description

Himeji Castle is a national treasure and a World Heritage Site. It's one of 12 original castles remaining in Japan and attracts many tourists from around the world every year, especially in spring and autumn, to enjoy the cherry blossoms and changing leaves.
Not only is it very beautiful and wonderful, but you can also learn about wooden architecture, Japanese history, Japanese culture, or defense and attack strategies.
Since there aren't many objects inside, it's very useful to visit with a guide to understand it well.
If you are interested in a Japanese garden, you can visit the Kokoen Garden after the tour.
The tour starts at Otemon Gate or near Sakuramon Bridge.

You need to purchase a Castle and Garden ticket.
The Castle: 1000 JPY for adults and 300 JPY for children 18 years and younger

The Garden: 310JPY for adults and 150JPY for children 18 years and younger

I look forward to seeing you and will gladly accompany you!
