Vandretur i Himeji Castle Garden og Aizome Indigo Dyeing
Beskrivelse
Sammenlignet med andre verdensberømte byer i Japan er Himeji City relativt ukendt for de fleste. Men når du ser på billederne af byen Himeji, dukker der straks en idé op. Det er rigtigt, et slot. Du har sikkert set dette slot et sted på en hjemmeside eller en brochure, der introducerer Japan. Himeji City er hjemsted for et berømt slot. Himeji Slot er ikke kun det største eksisterende slot i Japan, men er også registreret som et verdensarvssted og en nationalskat i Japan. Ikke alene er selve slottet fremtrædende, men der er også skjulte vidundere rundt omkring i byen. Haver, templer og monumenter, som alle er over tusind år gamle, afslører meget af Japans historie. Ud over håndgribelige historiske bygninger er der også en masse immateriell kultur, der venter på, at folk skal vide om det.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Mød os på JR Himeji Station for at starte din rejse. Mødestedet er umiddelbart efter at have forladt stationens hovedport. På kun 15 minutter ankommer vi til det verdensberømte Himeji Slot. Vi skal bruge lidt tid her. Efter at have rejst tilbage i tiden inde i slottet, går vi til den japanske have, der ligger lige ved siden af slottet.
Efter at have haft en sjov tid på Himeji Slot, besøger vi den autentiske japanske have ved siden af. Kokoen består af ni slentrehaver med forskellige Edo-perioder (1603 og 1868) stilarter og landskabstemaer. Brug et øjeblik på at sætte farten ned og nyde den fredelige atmosfære der.
På vej tilbage til shoppingdistriktet besøger vi også Itatehyōzu-helligdommen. Det er berømt for Ilsan-ritualet, som afholdes hvert 60. år, og Samsan-ritualet, som afholdes hvert 20. år. Du får også lidt fritid til frokost og en kort gåtur langs shoppingområdet
Vores eftermiddag starter med en traditionel japansk oplevelse, Aizome (Indigo-farvning). Indigo er et af de ældste vegetabilske farvestoffer, der findes, og dateres tilbage til de gamle kongeriger i Mellemøsten. Den ankom til Japan via Silkevejen for omkring 1.400 år siden og har nydt en unik plads i japansk kultur og samfund. Du kan lave et særligt minde til dig selv eller din elskede.

We took a tour with two fantastic guides - both were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It felt like spending the day with long-term friends instead of complete strangers! We learned so much about Himeji castle and it's history. I am so happy we decided to do a tour to get the full experience. We also really lucked out and saw winter-blooming sakura, which are very rare, right outside the castle! They really cater the experience to what you want - they go as fast or slow as you want to go. Our tour guides also took us to a rooftop spot to see a nice view of the castle from a distance as well. For lunch Justin took us to a nice mom and pop owned restaurant. Both owners were very kind and the food was delicious. Another highlight was the indigo dying experience. My husband made a tote bag and I got to make 2 scarves. The indigo-dye artist was chatty and extremely passionate about sharing his craft with others. Our tour guides expertly translated for us and we were able to ask all sorts of questions about the indigo dying history and process. An absolutely amazing experience - I highly recommend others to take this tour. One of the best tours I have been on in Japan and I have gone 4 times!
