Overview of your Himeji tour:

Himeji Castle - White Heron Castle It was constructed nearly 700 years ago and has survived many wars and natural disasters. Its interior remains unchanged from when it was built, allowing us to think about the thoughts and behaviors of samurai soldiers of that time. Takenaka Carpentry Museum This museum exhibits the historical advancement of carpenter tools and technique. Japanese historic temples and shrines are made of wood, and not a single nail was used, and still they have survived many earthquakes. You will experience how these structures were realized, using various miniature models. This is surely a rare opportunity. Mt. Maya Cable & Ropeway, and Tenjyo-ji Temple Mt. Maya is quite close to Kobe city and has a steep slope rising to its 700-meter-high summit. To reach the top, you can experience both a cable car and a ropeway, and the scenery from the top is fabulous. Additionally, the summit temple has nearly 1400 years of history and exotic Buddhist statues. It is truly worth visiting.
