Himeji Private Tours

“We have a really nice day !!!”

Hi Nishi, We just wanted to thank you for the kindness, warmth, and care you showed while guiding us today. We truly enjoyed every moment, and it was clear how much thought and attention you put into making the day special. Thank you as well for arranging the wonderful restaurant reservation with the beautiful view of Himeji Castle. It was a memorable experience. Everything was perfectly timed—from the buses to the ropeway and all the connections—so we were able to make the most of our day without having to worry about any logistics. It was a real pleasure discovering Himeji and its surroundings with you. Your knowledge, friendliness, and thoughtful planning made this a day we will always remember. Thank you again, and we wish you all the best.

“Himeji castle ”

We had an excellent visit to Himeji Castle. Our guide Noboru S was super nice, and very knowledgeable of the castle and it's history over the many years of it's existence. He took us to the Himeji International Exchange Center, a spot of oftened overlooked by visitors. If you are looking for a great experience with a knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend Mr Noboru S. Thank you Noboru Best Regards Judy and Craig Friedman

“Excellent few hours around Himeji and Koko-en with Noboru!”

What a wonderful few packed hours spent with Noboru! Prior to the tour, we really appreciated the good communication regarding arrangements, as Himeji was a stop between two destinations that day, and we only had a few hours to spare before catching an onward train. We had nothing to fear, all went very smoothly. Noboru answered all our questions, was extremely knowledgeable on the castle details, and a very personable man. We hadn't anticipated the amazing design of the castle and its many floors to climb, but at each level there was an interesting corner or extra detail to point out. We wouldn't have had this if we were on our own. The place is stunning and shouldn't be missed. The second part of the tour, the Koko -en garden, was sadly a bit rushed as we had to catch our train. If I had known that this was such an exquisite place, I would have changed our train times in advance. Now we know. Of course this is nothing to do with Noboru's excellent guiding and time management. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Noboru.
