On our last day in Osaka, we tried to squeeze in another two cities as part of our short-day trip from Osaka. We visited Himeji and Kobe on a day. We may be crazy or just simply not smart enuf but I just wanted to see that famous white castle in Himeji and having that best Kobe beef from Steakland while we only have one day.
Train ride from Osaka to Kobe takes around 30 minutes only. To go to Himeji castle, you need to exit from North side of Himeji Station and walk for approximately 1 km. There are two streets that are parallel to each other toward the castle. Otemae-dori and another one is Miyuki which is covered shopping street. Stores and restaurants are lined up along both ways. However, it was sprinkling the day we went there, so we walked through the Miyuki shopping street. On the internet, it says it will take around 20-30 minutes' walk from the station to the castle but for us, it took hours. You know why 😆
