Discover the very best of Himeji in comfort on this private 6-hour tour with your own government-licensed guide and private vehicle. At its heart is Himeji Castle, Japan's most magnificent original feudal castle and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where your guide brings 400 years of samurai history to life as you climb through its maze-like defences to the great white keep. Wander the tranquil Edo-period gardens of Koko-en, then drive up Mount Shosha and ride the ropeway to Engyo-ji, the mountaintop temple used as a filming location for 'The Last Samurai'. Along the way you can add a hilltop castle viewpoint, a historic sake brewery, peaceful Hiromine Shrine and Himeji's lively Otemae-dori boulevard. Because the tour is fully private and customisable, you set the pace and choose the sights you like most, with convenient pickup from your hotel.
