View on Google MapsThis is a tough review to write because our tour guide Hiro was such a nice guy, but totally unqualified to lead a tour. He admitted that he was new, but he should have done more reading up on Himeji Castle. His knowledge was limited to what was written next to each exhibit. He literally just read what was on there and repeated it to us. It was unreal especially when you listened to other tour guides around you and the level of detail they expressed. I ended up listening to other tours to actually learn any valuable information. In the end the two of spent about $200 usd for the Castle and garden tour. That actual cost of those sites is about $20 usd. So essentially, we spent $180 to walk around with a nice guy. If you're going to book this tour you should only do so as a last resort. Try and find a certified guide otherwise just go on your own.
We thoroughly enjoyed the historic and beautiful Himeji Castle largely due to our guide Hiro. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He was especially kind and helpful in ensuring our safety on the stairs and walkways. We highly recommend Hiro and this tour.

It was both an interesting and informative tour. My guide,Hiro was very detailed in explaining the history of Himeiji Castle. He was also patient with me as I walked slowly. Woud recommend this tour to anyone who plans to visit Himeiji Castle
Miss Aya Papaya was so wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and made our tour very informative and thrilling. She also gave us recommendations for food and shopping around the Himeji area. Aya is a pleasure to be around, and we are so grateful to have toured Himeji Castle with her!!! :3 ❤️
Fantastic afternoon touring Himeji castle and gardens. Mia my guide was so engaging telling me about the architecture, history and battle strategies along the way. I certainly got so much more out of the visit having her as my guide. Highly recommend
It wasn’t the best experience, it felt like the guide rushed the tour and didn’t tell us much about what we were seeing. It was a small group, 5, and there weren’t many answers to questions that were asked. The castle was impressive but I think I could have done it alone.
Guide was friendly and accommodating to our needs. Had familiarity with the Castle and was able to point out details we would have otherwise missed from just following the display panels. Could help direct us to stores and restaurants to visit afterwards, including where we could find a quick blast of air conditioning.
Exellent guide Miya, she speaks great english and made the tour so nice. I truly recommend her and the Himeji castle is beautiful and is a must
Being able to visit each 6 levels of the castle was amazing. Haruka was knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic tour! Highly recommended.
