We will take the Shinkansen to Himeji to visit a 10th-century Japanese Buddhist temple and a 17th-century Japanese castle. We'll learn more about history and Buddhism in Japan.
Come with us to discover Himeji on this full-day private guided tour by foot, Shinkansen and public transport!
We'll start with a visit to Mount Shosha and Engyoji Temple. This 10th-century temple offers us peace and serenity. This temple, known for its authenticity, is popular with filmmakers for its medieval Japanese atmosphere. This is even where the movie "The Last Samurai" was filmed. This is our chance to visit it!
Next, we'll head to the magnificent Himeji Castle. This is one of Japan's 12 original castles that are still intact. Himeji Castle is a symbol of Japan's feudal past, and we have the opportunity to see its wooden keep as it was in 1618. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the history of the castle and Japan's former political landscape.
After this day, you will know more about the history of Japan, while also having enjoyed a breath of fresh air in nature. Are you coming? We're waiting for you!
