Hi!, I’m MOTOHICO.
This time, I will provide information on accommodation in the Himeji area for foreign visitors to Japan.
If you have already been to Japan many times, you may be aware of the various features, but we will provide information for beginners.
Himeji is visited by many foreigners for sightseeing. Because Himeji Castle is very famous.
Then, at Himeji Station, the Shinkansen passes 300km/h and is famous as the fastest station on the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen in Japan.
Himeji is not a big city, but besides Himeji Castle, you can feel the Japanese culture because there are Shoshazan Engyoji (Buddhist temples).
Shoshazan-Engyoji is well known place as the filmed in the movie Last Samurai in the past.
Tom Cruise was main cast at Last Samurai.
OK, Let me introduce you to the hotels in the Himeji area.
The closest hotel to the station is Nikko Himeji, less than a minute walk south of Himeji Station.
Other new hotels include the Himeji castle grandvio hotel and the Hotel Monterey Himeji.
Other low-cost hotels include Wing International Hotel and Livemax.
Compared to Osaka, it is generally cheaper, so it is better to stay in Himeji when traveling in Osaka or the Kansai area.
