* Ono Sakura River Corridor
A spectacular 4km riverside cherry blossom corridor in Ono City, Hyogo. Boasting 650 trees of 5 sakura varieties, it blooms from late March to early April. Stroll or cycle along the Kakogawa River, admire the mirrored blossoms in rice paddies, and enjoy night illuminations during peak season.

* Himeji Castle
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Treasure, known as Shirasagi-jō (White Egret Castle) for its gleaming white plaster walls. Completed in 1617, it is Japan’s most intact feudal castle, featuring intricate defensive systems, multi-layered roofs, and over 1,000 cherry trees in its grounds.

*Kokoen Garden
Adjacent to Himeji Castle, this 3.5-hectare traditional garden opened in 1992 to mark Himeji’s centennial. It has nine distinct Edo-style walled gardens, scenic ponds, stone lanterns, and the Sōju-an tea house, with stunning cherry blossoms in spring and fiery autumn foliage.

* Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
Also called the Pearl Bridge, this iconic suspension bridge links Kobe (Honshu) and Awaji Island, completed in 1998 after 10 years of construction. Once the world’s longest-spanning suspension bridge, it offers panoramic sea views, the Maiko Marine Promenade, and Bridge World exhibition center to explore its engineering feats.
