Great experience

Published on Jun, 2024

Himeji castle is amazing and so is the garden, we didn't feel well so we skipped Engyo Ji, but the rest was amazing, and our guide Fujii, was delightful, cheerful and made us have a great time.

Our guide was fantastic and the tour was great.

Published on Mar, 2024

Our guide was fantastic and the tour was fun and educational. The guide was flexible with what we wanted to do. We spent more time at the castle and then had takoyaki from a street vendor for lunch because that was on my daughter’s list of things to do.

Great trip for a family of four

Published on Jan, 2024

This trip was fantastic. Himeji Castle is every bit as beautiful as it looks like in the pictures and it is significantly less crowded than both Osaka Castle and the major sites in Kyoto. The private driver made the trip very easy and enjoyable. The gardens by Himeji Castle are truly stunning and Engyo-Ji is serenely peaceful. My daughters (12 and 14 years old) loved every minute of it. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, and very flexible in her willingness to take us to the sites we wanted to see. Thank you!
