Miyajima

Radio and TV Line 2 swayed for about an hour to reach Miyajima Exit, and then took a 10-minute ferry to the Yandao Shrine that was in my heart. Watching the red bird house getting closer and closer, everything was worth it. Weekends are tourists, but everyone is not slow, there are fawns along the road, and they will not rush to the crowd like Nara fawns, and they are also walking leisurely. The low tide time is going to be night, so there is no chance to wait until that late. Thinking, will come again in the future.

if you are into castles and architecture, you should visit himeji castle. The wonders of how they build during that era is amazing and one wonders how they even came up with the idea for the structure. Warning, be prepared to climb vertical stairs... like 45 degrees with low ceiling. Overall, it was a beautiful experience.

Himeji Castle

Castles

UNESCO World Heritage - Cultural Sites

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&#39;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&#39;m sure tons of rework and maintenance is being carried out to keep it in it&#39;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&#39;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.
