Trip Report: Himeji Castle – Japan’s Most Stunning Cherry Blossom Destination


After another pleasant stay at the ANA Okayama, we took the Shinkansen train to Himeji, home to one of Japan’s grandest feudal era structures, the Himeji Castle.

Built in 1333, Himeji Castle is covered in a shiny white exterior and is said to resemble a magnificent heron bird in flight.
