[2025 Himeji Attraction] Travel Guide for Okiku Well (Updated Jun)

Himeji is considered an off-the-beaten-path destination. Over two days, we visited the zoo and amusement park. The most unique aspect of the zoo is that if you drive, you can enter the park directly by car. There are tigers, lions, leopards, zebras, and deer. Of course, make sure not to open your windows. The amusement park had many attractions closed, possibly due to the winter season. Himeji Castle is very well-maintained and definitely worth a visit. Remember to buy the combined ticket with Koko-en Garden for ¥1050. The eel rice in Koko-en Garden is also worth trying. 👍🏻👍🏻

From Osaka to Himeji Castle in Kyoto, there are cherry blossoms and well-preserved historical sites. It is stunning from a distance and full of details when you look closely. Unfortunately, the weather was bad in the afternoon. I recommend it as a must-visit in your life. 📍Address: Himeji Castle 💞Recommendation reason: Cherry blossoms are in full bloom, so many that they are full and beautiful 🗓️Itinerary: It is recommended to walk from the subway to the castle in 10 minutes. It is comfortable to walk. There are also many restaurants along the way. When you come back, you can walk along the shopping street and enjoy the atmosphere and different culture of the local shopping street.

Transportation Tips: JR Osaka is more convenient for round trip Must-see attraction: Himeji Castle Must-try food: Himeji Station soba pancakes 🥞 💰Average consumption per person: 1700 yen 🗓️Itinerary: Take JR from Osaka to Himeji Castle, and then change to the bus. Because the hotel we stayed in this time was a little far away, it took 30 minutes just to transfer from the hotel to Osaka. Today I want to go back and forth and go to Kobe using my Suica card with a value of $4,000. Fortunately, we have completed the itinerary we wanted to do that day and eaten the Kobe beef we wanted to eat. I have been to many famous cities in Japan, but this one is the best preserved and has the largest hinterland. All the tickets cost only 1,050 yen and it is well worth it.
