We visited Himeji Castle (姫路城) on a nice cloudy day. The castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located just minutes from the Himeji JR station, which is very accessible from Osaka and Hiroshima, running on the Sanyo Shinkansen.
Himeji Castle has a white appearance and looks grand and elegant.
From Himeji station, we rented a bicycle from the self service kiosk, for 100 yen a day. The ride was easy and cooling. We rode around the castle park while admiring the castle from the outside.
We also rode and strolled around the nearby Kokoen park. The entrance to the castle costs 1000 yen. We didn't enter, due to a lack of time (probably just an excuse. LOL)
Between Himeji JR station and Himeji castle, there is a long stretch of shopping street. Here you can find nice little shopes and cafe. Take a break and indulge in some nice coffee.
After a long ride, we became tired and started to just walk and push the bike. LOL
Himeji Castle is highly recommended, it is definitely one of the Top 3 castles in Japan. Do visit it if you can.

Really nice. Plans for my next big trip are for Japan. I really love all kinds of wrestling and I am a big fan of Sumo so i'll try to hit two birds with one stone...
Then you definitely gotta visit Japan for a Sumo trip. Remember to check out the calendar for major tournaments, usually in cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka.
I am a regular fan of sumo so I know when all the tournaments are because I watch them live! If you get close to a tournament share some pics with us!
You should take some video.

This was actually our second visit to Himeji. As I researched about Himeji while writing an article for Japan Walker, I discovered there are so much more to see in Himeji. Will definitely be back for more.
So great :)
I was there before some months :)
Big UP!
