What you can expect

Visit one of Japan's first recognized World Heritage Sites and national treasure Himeji Castle with an English-speaking tour guide.

The Himeji Castle, or White Heron Castle, was originally built in 1333; not for the emperor to live, but for the protection and battle of the Shogunate (military). Marvel your eyes at the intricate roofs, built to resemble the flight of a bird.

Explore the secret passages, staircases and trap doors made specially for battle, but never actually used for war! Immerse yourself in the rich history of this castle that resisted time, fires and even the great Earthquake in 2011, while being guided in English!
