JP 2016 Dec Chugoku (Part 3)

Himeji Castle (姫路城)

Beautiful ‘White’ castle after major renovations. There were many local and foreign visitors, though it was close to end of year.

Kokoen (好古園)

Kokoen is just 500m away from the Himeji castle entrance.  With less visitors, it was serene with well-maintained gardens, ponds, small bridges. Camelia was in full bloom.
