Come with us to discover Himeji on this private guided walking tour using public transportation!
We start with a visit to Mount Shosha and Engyoji Temple. This 10th-century temple offers peace and serenity. Renowned for its authenticity, it is popular with film directors for its medieval Japanese atmosphere. It was even used as a location for the film "The Last Samurai." This is our chance to visit it!
We then head to the magnificent Himeji Castle. Here, one of Japan's 12 original castles still stands intact. Himeji Castle is a symbol of Japan's feudal past, and we have the opportunity to explore its wooden keep as it was in 1618. Your guide will share fascinating anecdotes about the history of the castle and Japan's ancient political landscape. After this day, you will know more about Japanese history, while having enjoyed a breath of fresh air in the countryside. Are you coming? We look forward to seeing you!
