Himeji, in western Hyogo, grew around its white castle, preserved since the early 17th century, a National Treasure and World Heritage Site. Next to it are the nine gardens of Koko-en, and to the north on Mount Shosha, the Engyo-ji temple with wooden halls set in the forest. The city is about 30 minutes by bullet train from Osaka.
