Restaurants in Himeji

  1. A

    Fukutei

    This stylish, approachable restaurant is a great lunch choice if you want something a little civilised. The fare here is casual kaiseki: a little sashimi, some tempura and the usual nibbles on the side. At lunch try the excellent omakese-zen (tasting set; ¥1500). There's a small English sign.

    Len

    If you find yourself in Himeji in the evening and feel like a good meal of pan-Asian izakaya fare, then you should try Len. There’s a blue sign in English and an English menu available.

    Me-n-Me

    They make their own noodles at this homey little noodle joint a few minutes' walk from the castle. It's not fancy, but if you want an honest, tasty bowl of udon to power you through the day, this is the spot. There's usually an English sign on the street.

    Rāmen-no-Hōryū

    For good gyōza and hearty bowls of rāmen we recommend this friendly rāmen joint near the station. Buy your tickets from the machine (staff usually rush around to help you do this, since the buttons are labelled in Japanese). It's roughly opposite Starbucks – look for the faux wooden facade painted with large white swirls.
