We plan private tours in West Kansai — Himeji, Kobe and the hill country behind them.

Himeji is the one castle in Japan that most travellers remember: original keep, white plaster, and a garden worth a second hour. Kobe gives you the port, the beef and the hillside districts. Inland, the Takeda castle ruins float above morning cloud in autumn, which means a very early start — worth it once.

Routes in this collection: 5 Days West Kansai Private Tour and 6 Days West Kansai Private Tour.

Tell us your dates and who is travelling, and we will come back with a route and honest driving times. Planning is free — WhatsApp +852 6888 4736.
