What to do and see in Himeji, Kinki: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

July 30, 2021 Sheron Bogner

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.

Himeji Park

Reviewed By alittlebitofskye - Sydney, Australia

We walked around the park before heading into the castle l. We visited in November so we’re treated to full peak autumn colours surrounding the castle. Only about a 10 minute walk from the JR station (also accessible by bus) this park was an absolute treat. I’d imagine it would be equally amazing during Sakura season.
