"Less than 1 hour from Kyoto via train, this is a popular day trip or stopover on the way to Hiroshima. This castle is widely considered to be one of the most impressive in Japan.
Note that during cherry blossom season, Himeji Castle has tons of visitors that may result in extremely long waiting times or limited ticketed entries, so plan accordingly.
Admission: 1000 yen "
