Although it wasn't too hot, it wasn't great for taking photos 😂😂😂. 🌇| Koko-en Garden 🎟| Ticket: 300 yen (purchased separately) It is more cost-effective if bought together with the Himeji Castle ticket. Koko-en Garden is 260 meters to the right after crossing the bridge from the main gate of Himeji Castle. There are bamboo gardens, pine gardens, etc. It is very beautiful if you come during the autumn leaves season. But the green scenery is also nice this season. 🌇| Maya Mountain Cable Car (Night View) 🎟| Ticket: 1760 yen 🚩| Location: Kobe Maya Mountain 🚌| Transportation: Bus No. 18 Kobe Sannomiya Station — Maya Mountain Cable Car Station ⏰| Time: Opening hours: Weekdays 17:30 Holidays 20:50 Taking the cable car up the mountain, you can see one of Japan's three major night views, the Kobe night view. It is very beautiful, but because I came late today, the photos were not as good as those taken at 19:00. The cable car ride is divided into two sections, the first section is a large cable car, and the second section is a small cable car. As the cable car slowly ascends, the night view of Kobe gradually unfolds before your eyes. This is also one of Japan's three major night views and is worth seeing. 🍲| Meals Lunch: Unatoto 💳| Cost: 800 yen 🚩| Location: Himeji Station Dinner: Kajoshiken 💳| Cost: 1400 yen 🚩| Location: Kobe This noodle shop offers spicy, black garlic, and basil flavors.
