Himeji Castle

was Just open to the public on March 27th 2015 after the repair since 2009.  I visited the Castle at 9 AM on March 31st. Many tourists enjoyed the castle tour and cherry blossom viewing.  When I got out of the castle, the admission was resticted and tourist would wait one-hour at 11 AM.

Please refer to Himeji Castle and Engyoji Temple or the set of "the Last Samurai."

In 1993, Himeji Castle was designated as the first World Cultural Heritage site in Japan. Because of its striking beauty and elegance, it is popularly known as the "White Egret castle", but in fact it was an impregnable fortress. Next, I would like to introduce you Engyoji Temple, where the movie "Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe was shot. The temple is located about 6 kilometers northwest from the Castle. We can take a bus and a ropeway from Himeji station to the Temple.
