Kobe is famous for a port which was opened to foreign trade in the second half of the 19th century for the first time after long isolation policy in the past. That means Kobe is rich in an air of exotic compared to other cities in Japan. I'd like you to enjoy Kobe with a little bit different atmosphere.

Day in Hiroshima

Keiji collected us from the train station as we arrived from Kyoto by train. Keji was very flexible and allowed us to change the itinerary. We visited the Atomic bomb dome and Peace memorial museum. Keiji had purchased the tickets online for us so we did not need to wait in the que . It was very busy as there was a flower festival. He took us for lunch to a Okonomiyaki restaurant which catered for the members of our party who were vegetarian. It was a very nice experience. We then took the ferry to Itsukushima shrine in Miyajima island. It was very nice experience even though it was very crowded. We did not have time to visit the castel but saw it in the distance.

Dear Smita, Thank you very much for good reputation. I enjoyed our tour with you too. I also thank you for your cooperation to our tour. I hope someday I have a tour with you. Best regards, Keiji

In 1993, Himeji Castle was designated as the first World Cultural Heritage site in Japan. Because of its striking beauty and elegance, it is popularly known as the "White Egret castle", but in fact it was an impregnable fortress. Next, I would like to introduce you Engyoji Temple, where the movie "Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe was shot. The temple is located about 6 kilometers northwest from the Castle. We can take a bus and a ropeway from Himeji station to the Temple.
