OK! Let's start the day-tour at the second floor in Himeji Station. You can enjoy nice view from the wide window. Can you find Himeji Castle?

This big lumber is an original pillar which has supported the magnificent castle for over 400 years. 

Please touch or hold it like me, you'll get a special power from the pillar.

After taking a walk for about ten minutes, you'll get Himeji Castle!! It's so gorgeous, isn't it?

Next place is a beautiful Japanese garden, Kouko-en just next to the castle.

Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience

Kyoto
6 hours

Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!
