Hiroshima One-Day Tour from Kyoto

As you may know Kobe is a porttown and something exotic. But the name Kobe comes from "Kan Be" which means people who serve for their shrine. It is very Japanese! Kobe used to be small village serving for Ikuta shrine. But after opening the country about 160 years ago, Kobe became one of the port which was open to outside of Japan. Then Kobe has westernized rapidly and become bigger. So Kobe has exotic parts and Japanese parts. In this tour we are going to visit a kind of Japanese parts like Ikuta shrine, Sake brewer, Japanese traditional  techical museum. I believe you can feel another side of Kobe, Japanese side.


Kobe : Hyogo Golden Route  (one of five tours)

KOBE BEEF tour ver.②

First, I would like to introduce you to the most famous castle in Japan.

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.

The entire castle is protected by massive walls of stones and the individual stones of all sizes are fitted together with superb skill. The path leading to the base of donjon is narrow, winding and runs uphill.  As the crow flies, the distance from the first gate to the tower is about 130 meters, but attackers would have to climb a route at least three times longer.  This woud confuse the attackers, leaving them exhausted or demoralizes.

 Himeji  Castle is one of the few castles that still has some of its original parts while other castles were destroyed during World War Ⅱ.  In fact Himeji Castle had been in repair since 2009.  The restoration work has finished and the restoration facilities are now being dismantled.  The Castle will be open to the public on March 27th  2015  (this year!). . .  Don't miss it !!

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, taking about an hour. The precinct has a large Maniden, a big Lecture Hall,  Jikido, or which was used in the Last Samurai, and other buildings.  You can see a panoramic view of the entire city of Himeji.

Why don't you visit Himeji Castle and Engyoji Temple with me?

You can enjoy the Arima Hot Spring resorts, Mt.Rokko, and Sake Tasting on this tour. 
Arima onsen is one of the three oldest hot-spring resorts in Japan along with Dogo Onsen in Ehime Prefecture and Shirahama Onsen in Wakayama Prefecture.  In the 16th century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the warlord who unified Japan for the first time in 1590, ordered the Arima Onsen repaired for his personal use.
It is well-known for Kinsen, or the "Gold Spring" and Ginsen, or the "Silver Spring."  Arima is located some 360 meters above sea level, on the northern foot of Mt.Rokko in Kobe.

You can enjoy traveling in the air from Arima Onsen Station to Rokko Sancho Station using the Rokko Ropeway.　After having lunch at Rokko Garden Terrace,  you can look upon a panoramic view of Kobe Bay, Osaka Bay and Wakayama from Tenrandai Observation Platform.
