Very good one-night stay. Well-located between the train station and the castle.

Extremely clean, wonderful staff, and right next to the station. The amenities were a great addition and you could barely hear the trains which I was worried about, but ended up getting a great experience

This is my second stay, and I'm still very satisfied! The hotel has a great location, with a large supermarket nearby, making shopping very convenient. There is a paid parking lot next to the hotel, which is very convenient for those traveling by car.

Nick was a fantastic guide, friendly, knwliedgable and attentive. he totally made the day trip to Hemji Castle and Arima onsen a fun and enjoyable one. Kudos to Nick San 🫶🏽The tour itself was well organised. the bus was comfy and the driver was professional and drove very safely. we spent the morning and lunch at the castle which was just perfect. and the onsen was also lovely. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🫰🏽

We went on February 8th, two families in one minibus. It happened to be snowing that day, and we saw Himeji Castle in the snow, so beautiful! After arriving at Arima Onsen, the snow gradually got heavier, and some roads were closed. We couldn't go up Mount Rokko, but the driver cooperated with our schedule and departed earlier to return to the city, avoiding being stranded on the mountain.

Great tour with Nancy Sue. The rain added to the atmosphere of the castle and kept tourists away, meaning wait times where quick. (note transfer not applicable as we met guide at the castle). Recommend.

Our recent day trip to Himeji Castle turned out to be one of the highlights of our time in Japan. The “White Heron ” absolutely lives up to its reputation, with its bright white walls and layered roofs rising above the city like something out of a painting

I am so glad I booked this tour. Huahua is a very good tour guide. He really did his best to assist us. The tour started on time and we returned to Osaka early and safely. It’s just unfortunate that there was not enough time for the Himeji Castle
