Compared to other world-famous cities in Japan, Himeji City is relatively unknown to most people. But when you look at the photos of Himeji city, an idea immediately comes to mind. That is right, a castle. You have probably seen this castle somewhere on a website or brochure introducing Japan. Himeji City is home to a renowned castle. Himeji Castle is not only the largest existing castle in Japan but is also registered as a World Heritage Site and a National Treasure of Japan.
Not only is the castle itself prominent, but there are also hidden wonders around the city.

In addition to tangible historical buildings, there is also a lot of intangible culture waiting for people to know about it.
