Japan | Episode 03 | Himeji in May
Location: Asia » Japan » Himeji
On May 2011, my vessel discharging cargo at Himeji, Japan.
So, of course I took this opportunity to explore the city.
HIMEJI, sounds very familiar right?
I am not sure why it is sounds familiar, at first it is because HIMEJI-NOMOTO....
but, its wrong,.. should be AJI-NO-MO-TO
forget bout it....
this is my first time getting into this city
Actually, Himeji quite near with Osaka....
Nothing much different from other places [i mean in Japan]..
But, Himeji is a a very tourist friendly places,
Free maps everywhere...
What is Himeji popular for?
Of course, the wonderful Himeji Castle!

Himeji Castle from far.... still under renovation |
On the way to the castle |
Stunning view from the Himeji Castle park |
Of course, the wonderful Himeji Castle!
Don't want to visit real castle, miniature castle should be Ok lah! |
The lost tourists |
In Japanese, this castle is sometimes called shirasagi, or 'white heron'
A title that derives from the castle's stately white form.
In the following centuries the castle was home to 48 successive lords.
The Castle Gatekeepers |
Lost in the urban city |
Shopping street |
There were some event happening around Himeji.... |
Queue up for the restaurant.... must be delicious! |
1 word = SHOPPING! |
But unfortunately, the castle still under renovation process until 2015...
So, I decided not to enter the castle
Exploring around the castle park was enough
Castle Ticket's counter |
Because I only got limited time to explore the city
I decided to do shopping around the street
CAUTION: That is not one of the POKEMON character.... it is a castle MASCOT! |
Friendly Japanese. Everytime I took her pics, always be in a monkey character. And no idea why... or maybe she know Malaysia & Orang Utan --> Commonwealth 98 Mascot... maybe... |
Quite OK but still not very fashionable like Osaka City..
for me, Osaka still the best for fashion...
Roger and Out!
p/s: Its been a long time from my last post... welcome back for me lah!
