Things to do in Himeji, Kinki: The Best Bridges

One of the best preserved and most architecturally demonstrative, Himeji's 400-year-old castle is so exquisite that it alone is worth a trip to the city. The castle is close to the train station, so it makes an ideal short stop on a day trip to several sights.

The bridge is small and simple, but it offers a nice view of Himeji Castle sitting above the stone walls of the moat. The water was especially beautiful and blue on the morning I went. The bridge is free to cross and leads to the main gate of the castle.
