[2025 Himeji Attraction] Travel Guide for Himeji Park (Updated Apr)

Himeji Park is located in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan and is a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms. Every spring, the cherry trees in the park are in full bloom, attracting countless tourists to come and see. There are about 1,000 cherry trees planted in the park. There are many varieties of cherry blossoms, especially Somei Yoshino, which is the most famous. Together with weeping cherry blossoms and mountain cherry blossoms, the white and pink flowers are intertwined to form a sea, creating a spectacular view. Walking along the road in the park is like walking into a cherry blossom tunnel. The breeze blows gently, and the cherry blossom petals fall like rain, as if you are in a dreamy fairyland. The cherry blossoms and ancient buildings here complement each other, forming a beautiful picture. Visitors often spread out picnic mats under the trees, enjoy the warm spring sun, and taste sakura mochi and local delicacies. In addition, Himeji Castle will also hold a night cherry blossom lighting event, allowing tourists to appreciate the beauty of cherry blossoms at night, adding to the romantic atmosphere of cherry blossom viewing. #AprilGoodDestinations2025 #JapanTravel #Cherry blossoms

Transportation Tips: JR Osaka is more convenient for round trip Must-see attraction: Himeji Castle Must-try food: Himeji Station soba pancakes 🥞 💰Average consumption per person: 1700 yen 🗓️Itinerary: Take JR from Osaka to Himeji Castle, and then change to the bus. Because the hotel we stayed in this time was a little far away, it took 30 minutes just to transfer from the hotel to Osaka. Today I want to go back and forth and go to Kobe using my Suica card with a value of $4,000. Fortunately, we have completed the itinerary we wanted to do that day and eaten the Kobe beef we wanted to eat. I have been to many famous cities in Japan, but this one is the best preserved and has the largest hinterland. All the tickets cost only 1,050 yen and it is well worth it.

#TravelItinerary #Japan #Himeji #HimejiCastle 🇯🇵 Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan Himeji Castle, located in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is easily accessible by subway or JR from Osaka, Kobe, and Akashi, so it is highly recommended as a nearby travel destination in the Kansai region. Here is a half-day Himeji travel itinerary. Travel to Himeji in the following order! 📷 2-3: HamamotoCoffee (はまもとコーヒー) Located on the way from Himeji Station to Himeji Castle, Hamamoto Coffee is a coffee shop with a cozy Japanese cafe atmosphere that is so beautiful. We ordered house blend coffee and almond toast, a Himeji specialty. We were able to watch the barista make the coffee, and the almond toast was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It was amazing. 📷 4-6: Himeji Park (姫路公園) We had previously visited the inside of Himeji Castle, so this time we took a walk around Himeji Park, which surrounds Himeji Castle. It was still cold in mid-March, so the cherry blossoms hadn't bloomed yet, but it was a great place to take a walk. It was also nice to be able to look at the magnificent yet elegant Himeji Castle. 📷 7-10: Kokoen (好古園) For an admission fee of 310 yen, take a look around the beautiful garden Kokoen. My personal favorite place in Himeji, even more than Himeji Castle, is Kokoen, which is beautiful all year round. The cherry blossoms hadn't bloomed yet, but the plum blossoms were beautiful and it felt great. 📷 11-12: nana's green tea End your Himeji trip at nana's green tea, a matcha cafe with a view of Himeji Castle! nana's green tea is located near Himeji Station, so it's a great place to have a cup of warm matcha and hojicha before taking the train to finish your Himeji trip. We were lucky enough to get a window seat and spend some leisurely time looking out at Himeji Castle. This is the end of the half-day trip course recommendation for Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Have a great trip everyone 💚
