Himeji Tour Reviews
Michael C.
“Great day at Himeji”
We had a great day with Shuji. Thankfully, he was with us to navigate Osaka Station and get us on the proper train to Himeji. Once in Himeji, we visited the castle, with Shuji teaching us its history along the way. After the castle, we had lunch and visited the beautiful gardens near the castle. He took pics with his phone throughout the day and airdropped them to us at the conclusion of the tour. It's a long day when you include both legs of the train ride, but Shuji helped us a lot and was very informative about the history of the area and the castle. Great tour!
Shuji O.
Yes, it was a nice tour. Thank you for the great review. Since it was a little late for the cherry blossoms, we could enjoy the World Heritage castle very much. Yes, it’s really worth visiting. We could enjoy the wonderful restaurant too. I failed it at the best cherry season. We were so lucky. Thank you for the happy tour!

Noboru S.

“A good guide, truly Japanese.”
HIDEo was well organised and punctual. He knows Japan history very well and he planned a two-days tour that matched what we wanted to see. However, he was less talkative in our conversations than other guides we had in Japan. He was a little difficult to understand in english and sometimes a bit confused

Hideo Y.
I'm very happy to receive your review. I'd like to make an effort to be talkative and improve my English skills. I'm sure you could enjoy visiting beautiful gardens and Castles. We visited Okayama Korakuen Garden, one of the three most outstanding gardens in Japan, and Ritsurin Park with wonderful pine trees in Kagawa Pref. to see Cherry Blossom viewing. Furthermore we visited Himeji Castle called "White Eaglet Castle", and Okayama Castle called "Black Crow Castle" and the ruins of Takamatatsu Castle. We also can see beautiful cherry blossoms at their castle Parks. I wish you all the best for your good health and continued success.
