Himeji, Japan // Day trip vlog // Himeji Castle & Kokoen garden
Day trip from Kyoto to Himeji! This side trip can be easily done from Shin-Osaka as well, still by Shinkansen bullet train!
I wanted to see Himeji castle (but there is nothing inside, there is just the wood structure so not sure if it was worth the ticket's cost tbh but the view from the top of the castle was nice!)
I also went to the garden near the castle and to my surprise it was one of the most well-kept garden I've been so far from my journey in Japan! so pretty!
If you ever go to Himeji and want to visit both castle and garden, you can buy a ticket for both places at discount price!
Hope you enjoy my journey along with me!

Shoshazan temples - Himeji - Japan (書寫山圓教寺)
Une expérience à couper le souffle dans les deux sens du terme.
Sur les hauteurs de Himeji, une balade au Shoshazan Engyō-ji (書寫山圓教寺) avec mon pote Farid
Temple assez connu par le film : The Last Samurai !
à ma connaissance, nous sommes les seuls Algériens a visiter les lieux. Pour y accéder, il faut prendre le bus puis le téléphérique et une bonne randonnée (15 a 20 min de marche). Grace à Farid j'ai pu découvrir un Japon assez méconnu avec une touche de délire lors du Trip, Merci encore poto, à refaire inshAllah
Un endroit très calme et très spirituel pour la majorité des visiteurs qui sont Japonais !

Mt. Shosha 書写山 - The Last Samurai
I visited Mt. Shosha (書写山) which lies on the edge of Himeji City in Hyogo Prefecture. Due to its beautiful views and lack of modernization this place is often used as a filming location for movies and TV dramas, including The Last Samurai. Plus the view from the rope-way was is hard to beat. I highly recommend visiting if you are in Himeji, especially if you want a break from the city...
Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching.
見てくれてありがとうございました。

Mount Shosha (Shoshazan) is where Engyoji (Engyōji), an atmospheric temple complex with a history of over 1000 years, is situated. Located at the end of Himeji City, the mountain can be reached in only 30 minutes from the city center by bus and ropeway.
Engyoji's temple buildings are spread in a wide, densely forested area on the top of the mountain. From the ropeway station it takes a 10 to15 minute walk uphill to reach Niomon Gate, and another 10 to15 minutes to reach the Maniden, a beautiful wooden temple hall, built on pillars on a steep slope. Or, you can take a minibus operating between the upper ropeway station and the Maniden every 20 minutes for 500 yen.
Japan Trip Engyoji Temple
Shoshazan Engyoji dates from 966. The temple sits atop Mt. Shosha in Hyogo Prefecture south of Himeji. Engyoji is temple #27 on the 33 temple, 1000km Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage.
There is a ropeway to carry you from the bottom of the mountain to a visitor center. Just a short distance from there is the temple bell (Jihi no Kane). Visitors are encouraged to ring the temple bell (just once please). If you do, you will feel the long, low sound resonate through your body.
The path from the temple bell to the main gate (Niomon) is flanked by bodhisattvas. Each of these icons represent one of the temples on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage. Completing this mini-pilgrimmage is said to have the same effect as taking the 1000km journey. As you walk up the trail, you will hear the bell ring again and again!
This is truly one of the great temple sites in Japan. Enjoy!
BTW: Scenes from the Last Samurai were filmed here. Once you visit, it is easy to see why this location was picked!
