Itinerary Details
| Himeji Castle |
Himeji-jō
Himeji Castle, a National Treasure of Japan and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is affectionately known as the 'White Egret Castle' for its stunning white exterior and elegant appearance, symbolizing the pinnacle of Japanese castle architecture.
The castle's main keep (Dai-Tenshu) is its most iconic structure; while appearing as five stories from the outside, it actually contains six floors and a basement internally.
With its remarkably preserved castle walls, brilliant white facade, and mythical Shachihoko figures adorning the roof ridges, the castle strikingly resembles a white egret poised for flight atop Mount Himeyama – a truly spectacular sight.
| Koko-en Garden |
Kōkoen
Located on the former site of the Himeji feudal lord's West Residence (Nishi-Oyashiki), Koko-en Garden comprises nine distinct Japanese gardens designed in various traditional styles.
These include a hill and pond garden (Tsukiyama Chisen), tea ceremony garden, pine tree garden, bamboo garden, and flower garden, each showcasing unique landscapes intended to capture the beauty of Japan's four seasons.
Visitors can admire classic Japanese garden elements such as carefully arranged flowers, stone features, and tranquil ponds.
Koko-en is an ideal place for a peaceful stroll, allowing you to appreciate nature and enjoy serene moments within these historic garden walls.

Arima Onsen
Arima Onsen, one of Japan's esteemed Three Ancient Hot Springs, is a highly renowned spa destination.
This historic hot spring town is celebrated for the richness of its mineral waters, particularly famous for its two distinct types of springs: the iron-rich, reddish-brown 'Kinsen' (Gold Spring) and the clear, carbonate-rich 'Ginsen' (Silver Spring).
| Mt. Rokko |
Rokkōsan
Mt. Rokko is a mountain range stretching approximately 30 km east to west, renowned for its verdant landscapes and diverse range of outdoor recreational activities.
As the Kansai region's premier outdoor leisure destination, it offers unique attractions throughout the year, making it suitable for visits in any season, and is also part of the Setonaikai National Park.
The area around the summit forms a broad plateau, offering spectacular panoramic views. It's particularly famous for its stunning night view over Kobe city and harbor, often lauded as the 'Million-dollar Night View' (especially beautiful in the crisp winter air).
