Itinerary
・Himeji Castle:
Registered in 1993 as Japan’s first UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, Himeji Castle was originally built in the late 14th century, with its current magnificent structure completed in 1609. Its elegant white exterior has earned it the nickname “White Heron Castle”, and it is celebrated as one of the finest examples of surviving Japanese castle architecture. The castle’s expertly designed wooden construction and defensive features reflect the pinnacle of architectural techniques from the Sengoku (Warring States) to early Edo periods. It is also one of the few castles in Japan to have a complete set of original keeps remaining intact. In spring, soft cherry blossoms gently frame the castle, while in autumn, vibrant foliage creates a striking contrast with its white walls
※From March 1st, to explore the interior of the castle structures, please purchase a 2,500 JPY entry ticket yourself at the castle on the day.

・Kokoen Garden:
Koko-en is an authentic Japanese garden that uses the UNESCO World Heritage Site Himeji Castle as its scenic backdrop. It is one of the most popular spots for visitors to Himeji. Located to the southwest of Himeji Castle, the garden spans approximately 10,000 tsubo (about 3.5 hectares). The grounds feature a collection of nine distinct gardens, including a pond-centered stroll garden called Oyakata-no-niwa and a traditional sukiya-style teahouse garden with the tea room Soju-an. The tranquil, Edo-period atmosphere makes it a popular filming location for historical dramas and samurai period films.
※From March 1st, to enter Kokoen Garden, you must purchase an entry ticket yourself at the castle on the day.

・Arima Onsen:
Arima Onsen is a renowned hot spring located in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, and is counted among Japan’s Three Oldest Hot Springs. Along its charming, narrow slopes, you’ll find plenty of local treats perfect for snacking while you stroll—such as Tansan Senbei from Mitsumori Honpo and the popular Kinsen-yaki pastries. The town offers a delightful atmosphere for exploring and enjoying on-foot.

・Mount Rokko:
Rokkosan Garden Terrace is one of Japan’s premier scenic complexes, located at the summit of Mt. Rokko in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, at an elevation of approximately 880 meters. This charming area with a touch of Western flair features several observation points offering sweeping views from the Akashi Strait to the Osaka Plain.

・For Lunch option: Senhime Gozen
A delightful Japanese set meal featuring a mini anago (conger eel) rice bowl, warm mini udon, tender mini steak, assorted tempura, and fresh seasonal fruit — a perfect balance of flavor and tradition.
