Included experiences
TATSUKI RESTAURANT (90 min.)
Restaurant Tatsuki receives fresh meat daily from its meat shop ensuring the best condition for serving. They provide customers with the best Kobe Beef, as they raise the cattle on their farm, sell the meat, and cook it at their own restaurant. The meat they serve is almost 100% Kobe Beef. They focus on the quality and freshness of the meat, and the chef prepares the sauce according to his own recipe. You will enjoy different cuts of excellent Kobe Beef in their Yakiniku-style dining.

Visit Himeji Castle, a World Heritage Site, with an experienced English guide. Himeji Castle is one of the 12 original castles in Japan that remains untouched by war and natural disasters, preserving its traditional appearance. Explore the same floors that samurai once walked 400 years ago and immerse yourself in the atmosphere while listening to our special guide’s castle trivia that even locals don’t know.
