Local insider tips

• Himeji Station is a 3-minute walk from the castle. Carry yen for small shrines and local eateries, and reserve a Japan Rail Pass if arriving by Shinkansen from Kyoto or Tokyo. • Come hungry — portions across multiple stops add up fast. Mention any allergies when booking so your guide can plan alternatives.
