Himeji Castle

Here's what Trippy members say about Himeji Castle:

"If you get to Kyushu, visit Nagasaki or go to Beppu-great onsen, can have a sand bath in the hot beach sand, visit the "Hells" Himeji Castle very interesting if you get down that way."  See More

"For example, when I left Kyoto for Naoshima(which I highly recommend spending a few days in) I stopped at the Himeji Castle for a couple hours while my bags were locked up in the train station."  See More

"Definitely Himeji Castle -especially for the Kurosawa connection but worth seeing irrespective of that connection."  See More

"If you're going after March 27 or so, Himeji Castle should be reopened, but it does appear that most of the scaffolding has been removed, so still worth a short pass-by for photos if you're going earlier, as it's en route to/from Hiroshima."  See More

"Andrea, so excited to hear you are visiting Japan! Spring will be a lovely time to visit! If the cherry or plum blossoms are in bloom when you are there, definitely take some time to enjoy the natural beauty with a yummy bento lunch picnic in the park. ^_^ Regarding transport, I was curious if you purchased a Japan Rail pass for your trip? If you were planning on taking the bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka, I think the rail pass would be worth it, especially since you are making some of those day trips. You should be able to purchase the pass in your country.See details here: !!"  See More

"The region includes cities like Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe, and other great castles and temples like Himeji Castle and Hōryū-ji."  See More
