On the middle of the long holiday, I went to Himeji with my husband and younger daughter.
Fisrt we went on a hike in mountains area.
The mountain was not so high, about 200 m's high.
But there were some steep paths and we climbed on rocky slope holding chains, so that was a good exercise for me.
The view was wonderful from the top of the mountain and we had a lunch there, then we climbed down.
Second we went to a theme park.
Before getting there, I found a castle like a Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.
How is it??
Houses below the castle were completely Japanese style though
I was so excited why the castle was in this place.
Anyway we drove to the theme park.
Then we realized the castle belonged to the park and one of the replicas.
The park is Taiyo Park in Himeji.
It is the park gathered many world famous buildings and statues.
Triumpal Arch in Paris
Terracotta Army in China
Some of them were real, especially Terracotta Army was made with reality. I was impressed very much.
