5.00Magnificent experience, thanks to the guidance of Ryuji Matsuyma. We have discovered many curiosities about the magnificent castle of Himeji. Precise, detailed and on many occasions also nice guide. Although the cost is slightly above average I would say that it is definitely an experience to do. Overall guide of 4 hours. He also recommended a place where we ate the best Tomkatsu ever eaten in 20 days of vacation. Arigato gozaimasu

5.00My 3rd visit to Himeji Castle was the best ever thanks to this great tour guide. A self confessed history nerd and Himeji native had tremendous insight to all things about the castle and surrounding area. The history of the castle as well as Japanese history in the context of the castle was excellent. Arigato
Ryuji saves the day

5.00When we arrived in Himeji we were shocked at all the tourists and lost hope of a nice day. But thanks to Ryuji we had the best experience possible. We learnt a lot about the castle and all our questions about the castle and Japan in general were answered. It was so nice to talk with Ryuji!
