Hay and Drews RTW Trip
Day trip to Himeji. We caught the bullet train (shinkansen) from Okayama to Himeji. So impressed with the train. They really do go very fast and have a separate line to other trains. We were not sure where Himeji castle was from the station but as it turned out you could not miss it towering over the town. We had picked up a couple of bento boxes before we caught the train and enjoyed these in a quiet park beside the castle. They were amazing. We then went into the 400 year old castle and climbed up steep, narrow stairs to the top which afforded some amazing views. After a stroll around the peaceful Koko-en garden next door we made our way back to Okayama with green tea icecreams!
