Our guide was fantastic and the tour was great. - Our guide was fantastic and the tour was fun and educational. The guide was flexible with what we wanted to do. We spent more time at the castle and then had takoyaki from a street vendor for lunch because that was on my daughter’s list of things to do.

Great trip for a family of four - This trip was fantastic. Himeji Castle is every bit as beautiful as it looks like in the pictures and it is significantly less crowded than both Osaka Castle and the major sites in Kyoto. The private driver made the trip very easy and enjoyable. The gardens by Himeji Castle are truly stunning and Engyo-Ji is serenely peaceful. My daughters (12 and 14 years old) loved every minute of it. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, and very flexible in her willingness to take us to the sites we wanted to see. Thank you!
