2025 Hyogo Prefecture Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

I visited a bakery called 'ameen's oven' in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture! 📍 6-18 Wakamatsucho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Villa de Coan 1st Floor Despite being in a residential area, it was a cute shop surrounded by trees! Inside the store, there were delicious-looking hard breads lined up. There was also a cafe, but this time I took out some bread! When I reheated it for breakfast, the more I chewed, the more delicious it became! The bread filled with red bean paste had a surprising burdock flavor, which was an unusual combination but very tasty!

📍Address: 68 Honmachi, Himeji City 🕰️Opening Hours: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Last entry at 4:00 PM) 💞Recommended Reason: Also known as White Heron Castle, Himeji Castle is a Japanese national treasure and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in Japanese history. 🗓️Itinerary: After having breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we headed to Himeji Castle. Initially, we planned to spend two to three hours exploring the castle, but we ended up staying until the evening to watch a light show that was happening that day. The combination of the old castle architecture and the lights made for a unique experience. In the evening, we went to try the famous Kobe beef. The beef had a rich flavor and only needed a little salt to taste amazing. It was truly a perfect day.✌🏻

A hidden Himeji specialty founded in 1974! It was also featured on Bananaman's Sekakuna Gourmet🍲‼️ The great thing about this place is that you can eat both yakiniku and hot pot! First, you eat the yakiniku as an appetizer salad instead of the main course, and then... The main course is hot pot! (lol)🤭🍲 What a happy combination! And it's delicious but not expensive at all! Do you feel like having hot pot or yakiniku? ! If you're on the fence, don't hesitate to come here! If you've been there, please share your comments~🎵 📍 89 Nishinomachi, Sanzaemonbori, Himeji, Hyogo 670-0940 #HyogoTourism#HimejiGourmet

#AustraliaFlightEvent This is Roan run by a Korean-Japanese president. There are many Korean-Japanese living in Himeji, and this Roan is a bit like a love room(?) I found out that the people sitting at the table were all Korean-Japanese and international students. The meat was moderately sweet, and it was really good to eat it with warm rice, and they gave me lettuce, so I ate it like a wrap, and also with rice. They also serve pear for dessert. If you miss the warmth of Korea during a long trip, this is a great restaurant. #JapanTravel
