VSITING HIMEJI CASTLE - My wife & I went to Himeji Castle in Japan on April 7th 2024. We had an English speaking guide hired through Japan guide agency . Her name in Hiromi Mizoi...She is well versed with the History of the castle & her English explanation is very succinct to follow through. She climbs the narrow castle steps with vigor...We had a great time
