Discover Every Bit of Himeji Castle - World Heritage near Osaka

Wonderful tour, I ended up having to tour operator all to myself. She was very knowledgeable and showed me a bunch of things no one else was looking at. I got great pictures and learned the history of the castle. Tour guide was also very enthusiastic because she was a local to Himeji.

Lovely and comprehensive experience! Our guide was so kind and spoke throughout the tour, answering all our questions. She kept a great pace and kept us engaged through the castle and gardens. She had knowledge of the site's history and general Japanese culture. She took extra care to meet us promptly and take us back to the correct train. I would recommend this tour!

The guide is passionate and demonstrates in-depth knowledge of the site. She goes beyond simple explanations and helps visitors gain a deeper understanding of the culture behind this architectural marvel.

We loved our time with Kayo-san exploring Himeji Castle. The details of the design of the defences, hidden architectural features, and the efforts to maintain and preserve it for future generations were well above what we would have gleaned exploring on our own. Very highly recommended, a fantastic experience at a true wonder of Japan

Wonderful guide. This is an in-depth, detailed private tour of the castle and its history. Highly recommend.

Our guide was excellent and a good fit for how my husband and I like to visit historical sites. Throughout our tour, our guide offered facts and figures that enhanced our understanding of what we were seeing. We enjoyed visiting each level of Himeji castle and recommend this tour for anyone wanting extra depth in their visit:
