Japan solo travel for 18 days Day 12 Himeji

#Outing #Japan # Himeji # Himeji Castle # Himeji Attractions Looking back at the 18-day solo trip to Japan in 2022 when the epidemic was just lifted After going to Akashi, go to Himeji and take the JR Akashi Station directly to Himeji Station. 【Himeji Castle】 After exiting Himeji Station, walk forward for about 20 minutes, and you will gradually see Himeji Castle! Himeji Castle is the first castle in Japan to be listed as a World Cultural Heritage. It looks like a white egret spreading its wings, so it is also called White Egret Castle. Tickets are 1,000 yen for adults, and the business hours are 9:00-17:00 (last entry is 16:00). When entering the main castle tower, you need to take off your shoes. The wooden floors are slippery and the stairs are almost all very steep and narrow, so be extra careful about slipping. The castle tower is on the 1st floor underground and 6th floor above ground. It’s quite breathtaking after you slowly walk upstairs. Yes, you can see the scenery of Himeji, and there will also be a historical guide in the city. 【Good Ancient Garden】 It is located right next to Himeji Castle and can be reached in a five-minute walk. It is more cost-effective to buy a package ticket together with Himeji Castle tickets. With Himeji Castle as the background, it is a Japanese garden, including gardens, tea gardens, gardens, and pine gardens. It is very relaxing to take a walk in the Japanese garden, the small bridge and the flowing water with the Bamboo Garden.
