"Himeji Castle" and "Enkyoji Temple", both of which have a history of more than 1,000 years, are World Heritage Sites that must not be missed when you visit Himeji. The attraction of Himeji castle is its pure white walls, which are called the most beautiful castle in Japan. Also, the inside of the castle still has the equipment used for warfare 400 years ago, when the samurai lived there. You also can't help but feel a sense of historical romance when you see the dignified appearance of the castle. The tour at Himeji Castle alone would be enough to satisfy you, but afterward, we will take a bus and a ropeway to Engyoji Temple on Mt.Shosya. The temple is one of the largest temples in Japan and has many cultural assets designated by the government. Once you step into Mt. Shosha, you will be overwhelmed by the serene mountains and feel a sense of purity.

Great guide and beautiful sites to visits. Josh shared his knowledge not about the monuments but also about Japanese culture and life.

I am very glad that Norio was my tour guide in Himeji. We visited the magnificent Himeji castle which was surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms. This is a must see UNESCO World Heritage Site with a rich history. After visiting the Koko-en Garden we took a bus to the Mount Shosha Ropeway, and there we visited several Buddhist temples that form part of the Engyo-ji Temple complex located within a gorgeous forest of tall pine trees. I highly recommend this day trip to Himeji to anyone visiting Japan
