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?

From the Autobahn to Himeji Castle: A Joyful Tour with Alex & Svenja

We had the pleasure of guiding Alexander Richter & Svenja Raabe 💑 from Germany on a 4-hour tour in Himeji 🇯🇵.

They are traveling around Japan by rental car 🚗✨. Coming from Germany with the famous Autobahn 🛣️, they mentioned how different it feels to drive slowly and safely in Japan 🚙😊. They were also very curious about Japan’s tiny kei cars 🚗💕 — such a fun cultural difference!

At Koko-en Garden 🌿🎋, Svenja, who LOVES koi 🐟❤️, was absolutely thrilled 😍! She and Alex even named the biggest koi “Alex” 🐠👑 because it was as big as Alex himself 😄👏. They really enjoyed the lush greenery 🌳🌸 and were amazed to spot the turrets of Himeji Castle from the garden 🏯✨.

For lunch we visited Sakura Saku 🍱🍣. They enjoyed a fish dish 🐟 — even though it had a few bones, they kept saying “Delicious! Delicious!” 😋👍.

Finally, we climbed up into Himeji Castle 🏯💪, where they enjoyed the steep staircases ⛰️ and compared the experience with castles back in Germany 🇩🇪🏰.

Such a wonderful and heartwarming day together 🥰💫.
