Himeji Castle tours

Blessed with beautiful weather & an awesome guide. 1. guide was knowledgeable, friendly & helpful. 2. Time was relaxed & sufficient to enjoy each location. 3. I learned a lot of history & gained much cultural insight from our guide, Gary! 4. Himeji Castle: is an astounding cultural, historical & architectural masterpiece! I feel so honoured to walk the halls of this infamous keep! 5. Arima onsen: is a beautiful & classic town. it is really cute & romantic. The "onsen" was quite toasty (42°c & 44°c) but most excellent. Soak long enough & you will feel some internal transformation. 6. Mt. Rokko has a most amazing view of Osaka & Kobe. It is a tranquil place with a large & 💕 ly gift shop. Plenty of good quality traditional regional gift choices: honey, printed hand towels, Kobe beef, etc... I highly this tour & maybe you too can be blessed to have Gary as your guide & ambassador. Thank you so much Gary, we appreciate you.

our guide Haru was wonderful. she was knowledgeable and extremely sweet. the castle was beautiful. Haru started us off in the garden and we had the whole place to ourselves

We highly recommend this service as it made getting around the different sites of Kyoto so very convenient. The important spots in Kyoto are a bit far apart so our van made things so much easier. Also, our driver, Mr. Wang, was very friendly and accommodating.

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.

we were a small group of 12 persons in a comfortable coaster van. our tour guide mike was nice and friendly. we spent enough time to each destination. loved the castle and garden. we had a great lunch at a restaurant with tempura, udon noodles, rice and fish similar to eel with great service from the servers. enjoyed exploring the arima village and dipped our feet to onsen hotsprings. cooler weather on top of mt rokko overlooking great views from osaka and kobe. definitely recommendable!

Nancy was a lovely, interesting and informed guide. She ensured we saw all the important spots, views and learned about the history of the castle and Japan culture generally. thank you!

Out private tour was amazing. the driver was polite, punctual and safe. We visited all of the places we planned.

Good dose of history and culture for this tour and highly recommended. starts on time and ends of time with enough time for each location for a preliminary understanding and exploration of Himeji Castle, the onsen culture and the view of both Osaka and Kyoto
