Set against the background of Himeji Castle, a World Heritage Site, Otemae Street makes a very attractive stroll stretching some 1.2 km (0.75 mi) from Himeji station to the castle. Offering a superb view of the castle, which sits high atop a hill at the far end of the street, this nicely paved, tree-lined boulevard provides great vibes and good photo opportunities. Sit on a bench and feel the energy of local life, or admire numerous bronze statues by famous Japanese sculptors. Rows of camphor and ginkgo trees provide shade as you wander past restaurants and browse through simple flea market stalls.

  姫路駅から姫路城まで一本道で、緑も多く歩きやすい歩道なので、天気のよい日は景色を楽しみながら姫路城まで歩くことができます。 雨の日や途中に食事をしたい場合は、一本となりのアーケード街を歩いた方がよいと思います。  more »

  It is a walking path with lots of greenery from Himeji Station to Himeji Castle, so you can walk to Himeji Castle while enjoying the scenery on a sunny day. If you want to eat on a rainy day or on the way, you'd better walk through the arcade street next door.
