The Himeji Castle Bike Tour was the highlight of my trip to Japan!
The Himeji Castle Bike Tour was the highlight of my 11 day trip to Japan. Our trip priorities were based on history, culture and food, and this tour was the perfect choice. Our guide, Meri, was great. She provided insights into the castle design features and construction that we would have missed if we went with a self-guided approach. Her knowledge of the Edo period history was also enlightening. Meri's choices for lunch and the Japanese sweets were top-notch. In fact, the lunch was probably one of our best meals on our trip (at least on par with one of our three kaiseki dinners). The 5.5 hour tour went by so fast, but it was definitely worth the day trip from Kyoto.

Chie was a wonderful tour guide! She was high energy, fun and knowledgeable. She really made sure the tour felt personal and showed us real hospitality. Would definitely take a tour with her again!
