Giangvivu:“Himeji Castle is a hilltop Japanese castle complex situated in Himeji, a city in the Hyōgo Prefecture of Japan. Himeji Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan, and it was registered in 1993 as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the countryOver 1,000 cherry trees can be found in the castle's grounds. The blossoms are free to see in the outer grounds, but a fee is required if you'd like to see the inner castle grounds' blooms.Visited here on 8 April 2025. All flowers are bloomEasy for day trip from Kyoto/ Osaka by using JR pass”
Kzos:“The interior scenery and layout are perfect, and it is extremely suitable for taking photos or wearing kimonos. You don't need to buy tickets at the gate, but can buy a combination ticket directly at Himeji Castle for only 1050 yen (Himeji Castle 1000 + Kokoen 50), which is so cost-effective that it is basically free.”
M23***12:“We had a flexible schedule, entering the park at 9:00 AM. We were thrilled to have won a Nintendo entry ticket. During the visit, my child suddenly felt unwell and took a break to find the emergency center. The staff was very helpful and offered advice (the emergency center didn't have any medication, so we had to buy it ourselves). They also arranged for the child to rest. While there were some minor hiccups throughout the day, overall, the experience was incredibly enjoyable. Aside from the heat and the long lines, Nintendo was a perfect match. I'll definitely go again.”
Tracyhooooooo:“💬 Integrate a zoo and an amusement park into one
💬 You can take a ride to see various wild animals up close, and watch the feeding process of white lions and tigers while walking in the walking area.
💬 The amusement park has Japan’s earliest roller coaster, jumping machine and other thrilling rides”
Suranee:“So much visitor on summer, transportation management very failed. Waste the time to walking to station. Hot weather anyway all are interesting.”
_We***55:“There will be a lot of people on weekends. The performance is mediocre and there is nothing special. It can be regarded as a tourist attraction in Kobe, but don't expect too much. When visiting the aquarium, remember to avoid the end of the performance, as there will be a lot of people.”
漂泊的人1312:“Besides the real spring water, it felt like a bathhouse in China during the summer, albeit with a more elaborate process. First, change into a bathhouse outfit, then shower, then put on your bathhouse outfit to change into your own clothes before leaving. No rest required, and the same process continued. I was given a key box twice. The cashier was quite quick. The food was reasonably priced.”
