What to do and see in Himeji, Kinki: The Best Architectural Buildings

September 8, 2021 Darwin Bolte

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.
