  This was a wonderful experience a little far off from the crowds in Osaka and Kyoto. It was a bit rainy so our visit to Mt. Shosha/Engyo-ji Temple was very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed the visit to Koko-en Garden and Himeji castle though they were a bit more crowded. Yama-san was a great guide who knew all the best photo spots.

• Top tour and in-depth historical information

  A standout among the guides that we have met in our travels. Norio is a great guide and conveyed so much information in such a short amount of time. He made it an amazing day in Himeji despite the significant rain we experienced. He worked super hard to flex with our train schedule, and adjusting to the extremely wet day. He took care to help us with all the logistics to make it a memorable day without challenges. Thank you for a great day! We will talk about our day in Himeji for a long time.

  Our guide Hiro san, was highly knowledgeable and a native of Himeji. She communicated with me from the get go and planned the visit according to our interests. She met us at the station, explained the history even as we walked along the main road to get to the castle. She gave us a lot of facts on the construction and the history of the castle. Hiro san then took us to the Engyoji Temple - a very serene space and once again told us history of the place and shared her childhood experiences of going to the place. Hiro san was very patient, detailed and kind and made us feel very comfortable. She even dropped us back at the station! Excellent experience. Highly recommend.

  I had a great day with Noboru as my guide, he has a great knowledge of the castle and its defences, exactly what I was looking for. He put together the itinerary I was interested in, with the tour also including the nearby Koko-en garden and Engyo-ji temple via the Mt. Shosha ropeway. The tour was well paced, and I learnt a lot about the area and its history, thanks Noburu! I definitely recommend the tour for anyone interested in learning more about the castle and the area.

  We had a wonderful time with Yama-san today. We explored Himeji castle and the gardens as well as Nadagiku Sake Brewery. Yama-san was so wonderful and knowledgeable throughout our tour. He knows all the history and takes great photos for you so you don’t miss out on group shots. We wish we were staying longer to do another of his tours, like sake tasting. Look forward to our next visit and tour! Thank you!!

  Yama was an excellent friendly guide. He made us smile and chuckle as he pointed out the history and defences of the castle, giving us tips on our Japanese and finding the king of the koi for us in the koko-en. we thoroughly enjoyed our day in Himeji. Thankyou Yama-san.

  

  

  

  

• Great Day with Norio

  We had an amazing tour of Himeji! Our guide, Norio, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and wonderful with our two kids. We were a group of seven traveling through Japan for two weeks, and this day was truly a highlight. We started at Himeji Castle, and Norio brought the history of the “White Heron” to life with great stories and insights we never would have learned on our own. Next, we visited the serene Engyoji Temple on Mount Shosha—absolutely beautiful and such a peaceful escape with stunning views. For lunch, we stopped at Nadagiku Sake Brewery, where the meal was outstanding. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the setting inside the historic brewery made it even more special. Overall, the day was perfectly paced, informative, and fun for both adults and kids. We highly recommend this tour—and especially Norio—if you’re visiting Himeji! Thank you Norio!!!

  Yama was an excellent guide. We had some trouble with our digital tickets and at each step he smoothed the way and helped us get things done. He told us a lot about the culture and history and he helped us all day to see things we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. He was great with the girls and he was great answering my husband‘s questions. I would recommend him and his service at any time.
