Highly recommend joining this tour. Himeji Castle is a very historic and beautiful castle. Koko-en Garden next to it is also very serene and picturesque. There's a great restaurant in the garden, but because you have to queue and we didn't have enough time, we weren't able to eat there. Afterwards, we went to 'Arima' to soak in a hot spring and had some snacks in the town to relieve the fatigue of climbing Himeji Castle, and finally went to Mount Rokko to enjoy the night view, completing a happy trip. I also want to thank the driver and the tour guide Ni-san. Especially the tour guide, who was very professional and humorous, making the whole trip not only informative about the history of Osaka and Kobe, but also full of laughter. It was truly an unforgettable trip.

I’d like to commend our tour guide named Simon. He can speak, English, Japanese, and Chinese which helped our diverse group that day. He was also flexible with our schedule and gave us ample time to explore each site.

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.

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

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.

This hotel is conveniently located right outside the south exit of Himeji Station, offering friendly service and luggage storage. The rooms are like new, with mattresses that are just the right firmness. The bathtubs are deep and long, with excellent water pressure, and DHC amenities and a powerful hairdryer are provided. Complimentary bottled water is offered in the room, along with a coffee maker and tea bags. The excellent location makes getting around extremely easy, with a wide variety of dining and shopping options nearby. The guest rooms are well-equipped, clean, and comfortable, and check-out time is 12:00 PM. Using the Setouchi Area Rail Pass in conjunction with your stay will save you time and make traveling around the area even more convenient.

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.

Location: Close to the station, but a bit of a walk to the main shopping area (maybe 6 minutes on foot?).
Cleanliness: Relatively clean. I booked a twin room for around $30 USD on Klook, so even if it were a little dirty, I wouldn't have minded.
