Himeji Castle Admission Ticket
4.3(159)“From Japan’s Treasure to the World’s Treasure — Over 400 Years of History” In December 1993, Himeji Castle was designated as Japan’s first UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, together with Hōryū-ji Temple in Nara. Affectionately known as “Shirasagi-jō” (White Egret Castle) for its elegant appearance, said to resemble a white egret spreading its wings, Himeji Castle is distinguished by its white plastered walls and its complex keep structure. The main keep—five stories above ground with six floors and one basement level—is connected by corridors to three smaller keeps on the east, west, and northwest sides. The main keep of Himeji Castle that we see today was built in 1609, and even after more than 400 years, it continues to retain its beautiful appearance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚫ How to Purchase ⚫ https://himejicastle-ticket.jp/article/manual_en?lng=en-US ⚫ Important Notes When Purchasing ⚫ ⭕ Annual Passport for Himeji Castle The Himeji Castle Annual Passport is available for purchase at the on-site ticket counter for 5,000 yen and is valid for adults (ages 18+).
