Explore the magnificent Himeji Castle, also known as Shirasagi-jo (White Egret Castle), and enjoy views from the top. Cycle through the town for a Japanese lunch, then stop at a scenic shrine perfect for photos of the castle. Relax with tea in the beautiful Kokoen Daimyo Garden before cycling back to the station.
