    Getting introduced to the hidden secrets of Himeji castle.

    Jennifer_H, Dec 2025
    Aki was a great guide with a wealth of information about the Himeji Castle. He took time to point out aspects of the castle that would not be obvious wandering around by yourself. He took us for a very traditional lunch were we continued to discuss aspects of Japanese culture and education. Aki was an excellent host and this tour with him is highly recommended.

    Himeji Castle experience!

    Aki provided a fascinating personalised private tour of Himeji Castle and other points of interest in Kobe. He pointed out many interesting facts which my partner and I would not have picked up on our own. Would definitely recommend this tour - thanks again to Aki and his driver for showing us about.

    Aki was a fantastic host and very knowledgeable about Himeji Castle. He researched and found an amazing vegetarian restaurant for lunch. I also had a lovely tour around the Gardens and finished with a wonderful tour up Mount Shisha seeing the temples. Was an unforgettable day out to Himeji. We were expertly chaffeured everywhere as well. Higly recommend when you go to Himeji, Aki is the best!

    Dear Margaret, Thank you very much for joining our tour. It was such a pleasure to explore Himeji’s best spots together—Himeji Castle, Kokoen Garden, and Shoshazan Engyōji—and to also enjoy the vegetarian café. I truly had a wonderful time with you. Himeji is your second home. Please come back and visit us anytime. Warm regards,
