Himeji Castle Private Night Tour

A private tour of the World Heritage and National Treasure Himeji Castle, exclusively reserved for you at night, with a curator’s insightful commentary. You’ll also get the chance to explore areas that are normally off-limits to the public.

Tour Itinerary

  • The illuminated Himeji Castle looks even more stunning at night, with its white beauty enhanced by the lights. This program is the only one that offers a private, group-only experience of the castle at night.
  • Since each tour is for one group only, we can adjust the tour details to match the participants' interests. You can also add options like trying on armor or experiencing the life of a samurai.
