Join me for a private half-day guided tour of Himeji Castle, exploring its rich history on foot! We meet at Shin-Osaka or Kyoto Station and then travel by train to Himeji. Next, we visit the famous Himeji Castle, one of only twelve castles in Japan that remain intact and authentic. Himeji Castle is a symbol of Japan's feudal past, and you are now able to explore its keep as it was in 1618. I will share fascinating insights into the castle's history and Japan's ancient political landscape.
