Overview

We will have a good journey ahead! After picking you up from your hotel, we take the train to visit two emblematic places of Japan: Himeji Castle and Kobe City. First, we go to Himeji Castle. It is a Japanese castle still very well preserved with its wooden keep still up. The castle dates from 1346 and we currently see it as it was in 1618. Then we go to Kobe. To the north, the mountain. To the south, the sea... And in the center, you! Visiting this beautiful city by public transport and on foot. We will discover Kobe from north to south: the European district, the city center, the Chinese district and the port. History and fashion come together in this picturesque town.

Himeji Castle and Kobe tour

Published on Mar, 2024

Mouloud was my tour guide to this epic day of sightseeing. The Himeji Castle, a World Heritage Site - white heron castle - was truly a sight to behold. Even the approach from the train station was along a grand promenade. Dating back to 1333 ,Himeji has served both defensive and administrative purposes in the centuries of rival warlords, feudalism and then the Meiji era. Moving from Kyoto to Kobe, we toured the Chinatown and the harbor area of Kobe, and Mouloud provided valuable context as to their origins. To anyone wishing to gain an appreciation of the history and culture of these landmarks, I highly recommend this tour.
