Tour del Castello di Himeji con una Guida Studentesca Universitaria Locale

Riku was a great guide. He knew the castle well and provided a lot of insight. He's great at conversation, too, answering all my questions. I've done two castle tours now (Himeji and Osaka), and this tour was definitely better. Part of that is Riku being a good tour guide, and part was Himeji being far less crowded. That was a surprise because I expected Himeji to be the busiest. Definitely don't pass this tour up if you're considering it!

Thanks to Riku, our tour guide to Himeji Castle was very enjoyable. He explained the castle’s history with not just information but with the stories behind it. Our tour was in English and he did a great job.

The tour with our guide Riku was so wonderful. His knowledge of the history made this tour one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Riku was able to answer all our questions and give us insight we would not have come away with if we had done an unguided tour. I highly recommend Riku as a tour guide for Himeji Castle.

Great review given of history and the historical period. Was very patient and answered all of our questions related to the castle and Japanese history. He was very friendly and aware of American customs. He communicated the meeting spot very well and made sure we got back to the train station safely on a very rainy day. His English was very good.

Riku 10/10 guy. Was super informative and fun to be with.

Riku, Was a very knowledgeable and even more so fun. He knows everything about the history of the castle.

Himeji Castle is so beautiful! I highly recommend visiting! Riku was a great guide. Admission fee is included with this booking. We walked through the castle. The building is very old, and like most historic buildings anywhere, the stairs are steep and the doorways are low. I suggest visiting the castle before shopping. You will want to be carrying less as you climb the steps. I also suggest no long flowy pants or long dresses and skirts. There are no shoes allowed inside. You will be given a plastic bag to carry your shoes with you. Wear shoes that are easy to take off and put on, as there is walking distance between buildings. The tour went a bit over 2 hours.

The tour was amazing! The castle itself was really impressive and Riku answered all my follow-up questions. Afterwards he showed me the adjacent palace gardens. He even helped me to practice my Japanese a bit and gave me some great tips for the rest of my trip! Highly recommend, thank you so much Roku!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Riku. He was great at explaining different aspects of the castle and he was exceedingly patient with our questions. We highly recommend him!

I joined a Himeji Castle tour led by a local student guide. The information provided beforehand was clear, and my admission ticket was prepared in advance, so everything went smoothly from the moment I arrived. My guide was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The relaxed atmosphere made it easy to enjoy our conversations while exploring Himeji Castle at a comfortable pace. What impressed me most was the guide's deep knowledge of Japanese history, including stories that many Japanese people may not even know. Everything was explained clearly in English, and I was truly impressed by both the guide's knowledge and communication skills. Although there are many castle tours in Japan, it is rare to be guided by a student. That made the experience especially memorable. The tour is also reasonably priced, making it a great choice for first-time visitors to Himeji Castle or anyone who would like to learn about Japanese history in English.
