Himeiji

After Hiroshima we jumped to a Shinkansen and head to Himeiji. A small city (500.000 inhabitants) in Japanese scale. Home of world famous Himeji castle. We stayed there couple hours wondering around the castle site and visited even the insides of the place. Pretty beautiful from afar but there was nothing to see inside. Just empty rooms and some old stuff aged couple hundred years back. (Notice the size of the person standing infront of the castle)

After castle experience we head to have some lunch. Found nice italian stylish place and had some pasta+pizza there. Himeji is nice place to visit for couple of hours to see the castle otherwise there is nothing else there. It´s only an hour from Kyoto and Osaka so pretty close to bigger cities if you´re visitin them visit Himeji also.
