Himeji

Tucked between the Seto Inland Sea and the hills of western Hyogo, Himeji is a place whose character is shaped by its position on Japan’s Harima Plain. The city is inseparable from Himeji Castle, a white-plastered early-17th-century fortress and UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993. Its surviving keep, gates and defensive passages demonstrate the sophistication of Japan’s feudal castle design. Beside the castle, Koko-en brings together nine Edo-style gardens, while covered shopping arcades connect the historic core with the area around Himeji Station.
