Himeji Castle, one of Japan's first UNESCO World Heritage Sites, showcases the elegant beauty of the "White Heron Castle" and features distinctive connected tower architecture.
This time, since we were going to ski at Hong Kong Hill, which is quite far from Osaka, we bought this JR Pass, which was very cost-effective. A round trip would normally cost around 6,000-7,000 yen, so this basically saved us half the price. I recommend buying GRP tickets if you're traveling to distant places in Japan, as they generally save you money, and if you buy tickets for multiple trips, they often include some premium fares.

Reviews: Cherry Blossom Season Small Group 1-Day Tour to Kobe, Himeji Castle, Mount Rokkō, and Arima Onsen with Optional Hotel Pickup

The itinerary was well-planned, highlighting the best of the classic attractions. It's a relatively off-the-beaten-path route for mainland tourists. Himeji Castle is highly recommended and definitely worth a visit. The journey is quite long, so having a car made things much easier. The driver was incredibly patient and enthusiastic, providing excellent service. He arrived at the departure point early to wait for us. There were seven of us in total, and the driver explained everything to us. There was no hard selling or shopping throughout the trip. I would definitely join a small group tour like this again next time; it saves us time and allows us to visit more attractions.

Overall, it matched the description, but the tour guide was late in the morning. Time spent in the German town was limited; after trying the pork knuckle and sausages, we had less than half an hour left for the tour. The pork knuckle was very large; I recommend one serving for three people.

You can basically get a quick look at the Seattle street scene, but if you want to explore in depth, it might not be enough time because of the long intervals between rides and the fact that there are no more buses after 4:00 PM.
