In the middle of May, I took a trip to Himeji city, Hyogo Prefecture. It's famous for its beautiful white castle, one of only 12 original castles left in Japan. I also went to Engyo-ji Temple on Mt Shosha, and the filming location for "The Last Samurai", the Tom Cruise movie.

So in today's video I'll show you the big sights you can see if you take a day trip there, including the following:
1) Himeji Bus Terminal
2) Shosha Station Cable Car
3) Maniden Temple Complex, including Engyo-ji
4) Koko-en Garden
5) Himeji Castle

Himeji City is accessible by:
The JR Railway Kyoto Line, to JR Himeji Station (about 60 minutes from JR Osaka)
The Sanyo Railway and Hanshin Railway - the companies share the tracks - to Sanyo-Himeji Station (about 100 minutes from Umeda Hanshin Station)
The Sanyo Shinkansen to Himeji Station (about 30 minutes from Shin-Osaka Station)
