Hello!

We just enjoyed Nada-nighting festival and Sone festival last week and

it was sooooo  excited experience.  Guests who visited Himeji were sure

to have good time with locals!

Himeji festival season is not over yet!

Next week, we have ” Usuki Lantern festival ” on 21-22OCT.

This festival is also gorgeous, and what is unique  is, the

local participants attempt to take down a lantern a top 3 meter high bamboo pole.
