I’ve yet to travel to Japan, but when I do, will be sure to include a day trip to Himeji. The view of the castle from Sangoku Bori is amazing and I think a highlight for me would be taking a stroll through Koko-en Garden. Thanks for the tip regarding visiting Himeji on a weekday to avoid crowds and about all the admission costs – certainly helpful for trip planning.

Hi Vanessa. I feel like there is never enough time to explore Japan. Will return to Osaka to make another day trip to Himeji!

Himeji Castle looks so pretty, good to know where the top photo spots are. There is something very calming about Japanese gardens, I’d love to wander round the Koko-en Garden. Shame you missed hiking Mount Shosha and seeing the temple, that would be high on my list.

Thanks Derek! Himeji is a fun place to explore when you’re in the Kansai area of Japan.

Hi Kelly. Once we’re able to travel again, we’ll return to Himeji to conquer Mount Shosha. The mountain is waiting for us!

I’d love to see Himeji Castle, it looks STUNNING in your photos. I’m putting the castle and gardens on my bucket list – just need to be able to travel again! 🙂

I love hiking, but have never seen a temple, so this would have killed 2 birds with one stone for me.

Himeji Castle was the most impressive castle that we’ve seen in Japan! Hope you can visit Japan once the travel restrictions have been lifted.
