Had an absolutely delightful day with our guide, Harry! the day does kick off nice and early but we were greeted by some wonderful snow upon our arrival in Himeji! Harry was so filled with knowledge and stores about the castles purpose, and was sure to tell us all about the different legends surrounding it. The view from the top is incredible as well! just make sure your calves are ready for some steep stairs 😂 Upon his suggestion, I also checked out the beautiful gardens next to the castle grounds, and they certainly did not disappoint. The lunch set was also absolutely delicious! Arima onsen town is also beautiful - and if public baths aren’t your thing, there are plenty of shops and little eateries for you to indulge in! the view from Mt Rokko was also a sight to behold! would definitely recommend this tour! the sights were wonderful! thank you again Harry!!

The excursion was amazing! We had such a great time from start to finish. Nick Lee, our guide, was awesome — super kind, very friendly, and he took great care of us the whole time. Everything was well organized and we really enjoyed ourselves. I would 100% recommend this excursion!

Rina was an incredible guide!! This was our first time having a guided tour in Japan and it was phenomenal. Himeji Castle has such a rich history and so many details that are easily overlooked/not covered in the standard guidebook provided by Himeji. She was a lot of fun to talk to and answered all questions we had. I think if you're also in a time crunch, a guided tour is the way to go because you'll really see the "meat" of Himeji Castle efficiently. I also appreciated that she showed us excellent, uncommon photo spots! The garden tour was fantastic and she told us much about the symbolism of many plants in the garden. Because of Rina, we will definitely be coming back to Himeji!!! I can't thank her enough for such a wonderful experience.

I would give more stars if I could! Nancy was a fantastic guide who kindly took our picture multiple times, and went so far as to ask the staff at the brewery for restaurant recommendations since we mentioned we hadn’t decided where to eat yet! She really made the day special for us, and we both appreciated her kindness. Himeji castle was beautiful, and the sake at the brewery was wonderful. Overall it was well worth the money and time! Highly recommend

This tour was worth it and such a great deal for what you pay for. They have door to door service. Shirakawago, Takayama and the Hida No Sato museum was beautiful and a great look into the Japanese history and culture of that area. My guide, Moazzam, was super nice, informative, a good driver and didn't rush me. The experience is much better than being in a big tour group and it's around the same price. If you're in the area and thinking about booking this, do it. I would definitely book it again and would recommend others to do so.

The hotel's location is perfect. It's adjacent to shopping areas and within walking distance of Himeji Castle. The breakfast is substantial. Parking was also convenient and reasonably priced at 700 yen.

The hotel was conveniently located near the train station, making it easy to go out for dinner. It was also close to Himeji Castle, so I could take a walk after dinner and see the illuminated castle. Amenities were available at the front desk, and you could take what you needed. I especially liked the soft toothbrush. Overall, the room was clean.
