If you are planning to visit a castle, this one is much of a better choice than Hiroshima or Osaka castle. For a simple reason; this one is real, the others are fake. From Himeji station it's a 15-20 minute walk, passing by different shops with souvenirs and other stuff. The park of the castle itself is not impressive but the castle, completely manufactured out of wood, is something special and very well preserved. I'm sure tons of rework and maintenance is being carried out to keep it in it's original shape but it remains cool to walk through. There is a designated walking route through the castle which brings you all the way to the top floor with some great views over Himeji. After your visit, it's totally worth visiting the neighboring garden Koko-en. I would say, for both the castle and graden, a 2,5 to 3 hours is enough traveling time excluded.

This castle is very beautiful, and it is relatively small. There are not many tourists. It rained when it came. The cherry blossoms 🌸 just bloomed. It is very pleasant to stroll here. Your Excellency Tianshou, a cherry tree is so beautiful, and the surrounding environment complements each other.

松本城是1500年代的戰國時代所建造的軍事指揮官居住地。外観是五層建築、內部是六階構造。這樣的建築様式在日本只有松本城和姫路城兩座。黒漆的外壁也十分美麗,是日本珍貴的國寶。

Self-driving tour is not familiar with the route, the itinerary delay leads to the arrival of Xiaocang City in the evening. Fortunately, I have insisted, otherwise I will miss such a beautiful and moving Xiaocang City. In the evening, Xiaocang City is equipped with cherry blossoms, so romantic! ! 💞 Very recommended
