View on Google MapsOur tour guide had insufficient English proficiency and we had difficulty to understand him. However, visiting Himeji castle, Buddhist temple and sacred places on the mount Shosha was a great opportunity to touch upon Japan's history, culture, religious traditions.
Yoriko-San brought us the Castle of Hemiji, in an amazing way, in great detail. We also visited the Enkyoji Temple, a very special place of rest. She is a top prepared, very knowledgeable and very pleasant guide.
The guide Yoriko Nakagawa took my family and me on an excellent tour on Himeji Castle, Kokoen Garden, and Engyoji Temple at Mt. Shosha on June 10, 2025, despite a heavy rain that day. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. She also helped us bought the bus/ropeway tickets for Engyoji Temple at Mt. Shosha well in advance, saving us much time on the trip. At the end of the tour, she rode with us on the bus to get to Himeji Station where we can do some last-minute shopping and take the shuttle bus back to the cruise terminal on time. I highly recommend taking this tour!

Josh was a great guide. It was interesting to hear about the castle’s history. The ropeway and the temple were also cool. Some of the time spent there felt like a nature walk.
It was nice to not have to look at maps or public transportation schedules. Our guide spoke good English, was friendly, and knowledgeable. Great tour, even in the rain.
I cannot overstate how wonderful our day was. Yachiyo was our guide and she was truly incredible. She messaged me ahead of time to confirm the meeting point and time, and also sent a restaurant option to make sure it was okay with us in advance. As a vegetarian, I greatly appreciated the ability to check out the menu ahead of time. And from the minute we met up with her, she gave us an amazing experience. She was friendly, patient, highly knowledgeable, and willing to take photos. She was also very helpful in answering questions and even escorted us at the end of the tour to get our stamps at the train station and running an errand at one of the stores. She truly went above and beyond and I'd recommend this tour and her as a guide to anyone. Thank you so much Yachiyo!
First class service, as they begin by meeting you in Himeji Station with a sign with your name! Then you visit Himeji Castle with an amazing tour guide (in our case, it was the awesome Coco!!!) who will give you details about the castle and it's surroundings. You'll then get to go up to Himeji Castles top floor and be able to see all of the city! Second, you will go to an amazing garden and have lunch INSIDE the garden. Then, comes Mt. Shosha, with Engyoji Temple. Peaceful and the location for scenes in "The Last Samurai" movie. Highly recommend.
Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and good communicator. Great itinerary and good pacing and flow. Lots to see and learn.
We had an amazing time with Koko, the views were to die for. I loved the garden’s restaurant, the meal was delicious and we also had an amazing food. The hike is easy and short, it was so peaceful and would totally recommend. .
This tour was amazing. Osaka castle was brilliant, plenty of awesome photo spots, especially with the cherry blossoms blooming. Yachiyo was very knowledgeable and very kind! She made the whole day smooth and fun. The temple Engyoji was a great way to end the day. Highly recommend to any traveller
