The season of appetite has arrived! From late October to early May, the Seto Inland Sea coast near Himeji Castle is in peak oyster season. After exploring the castle, why not enjoy freshly grilled or raw oysters and other seafood delicacies at a charming seaside oyster hut?

Deep Himeji: W. Scott, Mary, Catherine Nelson from Wisconshin Discover Castle and Kokoen Tea Ceremony

🇺🇸 From Wisconsin, we had the pleasure of welcoming W. Scott, Mary, and Catherine Nelson to Himeji!

🏯 They explored Himeji Castle with great curiosity, then enjoyed the serene beauty of Koko-en Garden, where they also took part in a traditional tea ceremony 🍵.

✨ To conclude the 4-hour tour, we visited Sunakawa Lacquerware Studio, the artisan who worked on the lacquer and gold detailing of the Hishi-no-Mon Gate of Himeji Castle. Here, the family experienced the elegance of Japanese traditional craftsmanship first-hand.

🌿 Their cheerful and refreshing energy made the entire tour even more enjoyable for me as well. Thank you for such a memorable day together!
