Things to do in Himeji

The tour was conducted in Chinese, which I didn’t know beforehand, haha! So I couldn’t really understand any of the explanations since everything was in Chinese. Other than that, I’m still glad I joined this tour because visiting these three destinations on my own would have been quite difficult. Overall, it was a convenient way to see all three places in one day!

I genuinely did not expect to enjoy this tour so much! Massive kudos to Harid for all his effort in ensuring that we get to make the most out of his tour. He’s very, very smart and he shared so much information about Himeji Castle which made me feel like I was at a live show in the History Channel. Please make sure to include this on your itinerary!

Great trip to see Himeji and the temple which we would otherwise not have been able to do on own, be prepared for a few long bus trips as these areas are not close by but worth it to see the views of country side. Had some real nice Kobe beef stew at Umie stop over in Kobe, enjoyed the Himeji Castle inside and Katsuoji stamp was fun to do.

Himeji Castle was the only highlight of this trip, and Arima Onsen was a nice experience, while the night view was quite ordinary and not recommended. However, the most impressive part was our tour guide, who was very friendly, multilingual, fluent in Mandarin, and provided excellent service with careful explanations of everything we needed to pay attention to. If there is a next time, I would be very happy to join a tour with this guide and driver again, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Small group, hassle-free, excellent guide care, and comfortable. The travel was not too exhausting, and it offered great value for the price. I will definitely use this service again.

Nancy paid attention to our interests to highlight at the right places. She looked out for our safety while we climbed and went down the steep stairs at Himeiji. we enjoyed the walk at the garden too.

We had an amazing time of this tour, our guide Etsuko was amazing, she went above and beyond to make our tour truly memorable. She was kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable.

we were the only two participants and what a great cycling experience it was. I could recommend this to everyone!

Great day! Himeji Castle blew us away, and our guide shared stories we'd never have gotten from a guidebook. Pickup was on time, the car was clean and comfy, and we had plenty of time to climb up to the top floor without feeling rushed.
