[Hyogo, Himeji] The scale is amazing! Let's go see the impressive Himeji Castle ♪

Himeji Castle, a national treasure and World Heritage Site, is located in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. Its overwhelming appearance, towering majestically into the sky, looks like a white heron soaring, so it is also known as the "White Heron Castle." It is the finest wooden building in Japan, and its aesthetic perfection is unparalleled in the world! The site is very large, and there are free and paid areas, but we recommend that you enjoy the paid areas. Inside the castle, there are audio guides in Japanese and foreign languages. It's great to be able to stroll at your own pace with the "Himeji Castle Premium Audio Guide" that uses AR and CG!
