Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Himeji, Kinki
One of the best preserved and most architecturally demonstrative, Himeji's 400-year-old castle is so exquisite that it alone is worth a trip to the city. The castle is close to the train station, so it makes an ideal short stop on a day trip to several sights.

At 68 Himeji Honmachi, there is the Himekoji Shirasagido Building, whose exterior is reminiscent of a town hospital in the early Showa period and interior is reminiscent of Taisho Romanticism. On the second floor is a photo studio that offers a variety of photo shooting options, including a "stroll plan" in which you can disguise yourself in authentic period costumes and wigs and take photos while strolling around the castle town of Himeji.

5. Mt Shosha hiking
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan
I hiked up to Mt Shosha from the parking lot near the rope-way. The hike only took about 30 minutes to the ticket window. Once you pay the entrance you are free to wander the hilltop. You do have to walk like 10-15 minutes after the gate to actually get to where the temples are, but the trail is full of statues and great scenery. When I was here it unfortunately poured rain the whole time, but it added to the experience. The temples around Mt Shosha are impressive, I can see why filming has been done here as it is untouched by the modern world. Many of the temples can be accessed, don't forget to take your shoes off. The whole area is worth exploring as there are temples, statues, and other structures scattered around the top, so take your time and enjoy the beauty and history.
