Himeji Castle tours

The guide had a great understanding of the history in the area as well be very kindly to solo travellers like myself. The overall experience is sometimes I would recommend to everyone.

this is the very first time that we booked this kind of service. this is aint cheap but worth the money. the driver is professional and on time. he picked us up from our hotel and drop us again in the same location in the evening. the vehicle is clean and comfortable. we communicated to the driver via viber. we really enjoyed this day in Kyoto and Nara. i will booked this again the next time I have guests who wanted to visit Kansai.

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.

this tour was great!! Nancy was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. she was also such a good sport in the heat— and it was so hot out when we went. she was kind and intelligent and spoke wonderful English. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Himeji castle. there’s a lot you can miss if you just do it yourself. thanks again for such a. great time!!

A must-do side trip to Nara and Kyoto from Osaka! With our japanese speaking driver we still managed to communicate through translator app. A very relaxing trip coz it’s a private car. We were picked up from our hotel, carried our luggage and we asked to be dropped off at Airport Limousine Bus Stop. It was a very fulfilling last day in Japan as we headed back to the airport for overnight stay in Hotel Nikko and be ready for an early morning flight next day.

though no guide whatsapp the day before the tour on meetup time and place; just go per klook iterniary meetup point. guide is super informative and knows the castle history very well. but do be prepared to climb the stairs up the castle. the tempura set is super value for money.

Our driver Chen Fei is very nice and friendly. We sent the tour operator our itinerary and they made suggestions on how to enjoy our tour better. True enough, we didn’t encounter too much tourists in our destinations. We did a customized tour of Kyoto as follows: Fushimi Inari - Ninenzaka/Kodai-iji - Shirakawa Lane - Philosopher’s Path - Kyoto Imperial Palace. Tourists started flocking Fushimi Inari at 9am. Ninenzaka, which was packed a week before our visit was almost empty. I highly recommend this tour group and Chen Fei. thank you for making our Kyoto trip unforgettable.

Gary is a superb tour guide. Throughout the tour he shared a lot of information related to the places we were visiting, this gave me an impression that he is very knowledgeable and he cherishes his job as a tour guide. my family and I enjoyed the tour to Himeji Castle, Arima Onsen and Mount Rokku very very much! Thanks again Gary. From Group 12 (tour 28 Nov 2025)
