Introducing Himeji

Himeji, a small city halfway between Osaka and Okayama, is home to Japan’s most impressive castle: Himeji-jō. In addition to the castle, the city is home to the Hyōgo Prefectural Museum of History and Kōko-en, a small garden alongside the castle. The town may not be much to look at, but it’s friendly and there are plenty of good places to eat. Best of all, Himeji can easily be visited as a day trip from Kyoto, Osaka or Kōbe.
