Itinerary
Known as the "White Heron Castle" for its elegant white exterior, this UNESCO World Heritage Site dates back over 400 years and is considered the finest surviving example of traditional Japanese castle architecture. As we explore the castle grounds, you'll discover its impressive defensive design, beautiful gates and walls, and fascinating stories of samurai history.
a beautiful traditional Japanese garden located next to Himeji Castle. Opened in 1992, the garden features nine distinct walled gardens designed in the style of Japan's Edo period. As you stroll through the peaceful landscapes, you'll see koi ponds, waterfalls, tea gardens, bamboo groves, and seasonal flowers that showcase the beauty of Japanese gardening throughout the year.
a unique observation walkway built beneath the world-famous Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. Suspended approximately 47 meters above the sea, this promenade offers stunning panoramic views of the Akashi Strait and the surrounding coastline. One of the highlights is the glass-floor section, where visitors can look directly down at the waters below and experience the impressive scale of the bridge's engineering.

About Osaka
Osaka is known as Japan's kitchen, a big-hearted port city of neon canals, street food and a grand castle, with Kyoto, Nara and Kobe close by.
Dotonbori, the canal-side entertainment strip, is the city's beating heart, its giant mechanical crab and glowing billboards reflected in the water. Nearby, the covered arcades of Shinsaibashi and the kitchenware street of Doguyasuji draw shoppers, and Kuromon Market tempts with seafood, wagyu skewers and fruit.
Top-ranked sights in Osaka: Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka Castle (Osaka-jo), Nara Park (Nara Koen).
