点评:One of the best preserved castles in Japan. Hard to believe that much of the original structure survived all the wars and earthquakes since it was built in 1333. The original wooden beams and floors are intact and refurbished. If you take the train to Himeji, the castle gate entrance is about 20-30 min walk from the station. We visited on a Monday in November, arrived at 10 am, and there were several Japanese tour groups visiting. It could get busy on a weekend.
Tip: if it is raining, there is a covered walking street (MiyuKidori) one block east of the main road(Otemae Street), leading to the castle--lots of stores and eateries on MiyuKidori and worth look on the way there or back to the train station.
Tip: you have to take off your shoes inside the castle, so wear comfortable socks, they provide plastic bags for you to put your shoes in while walking inside the castle (or you can bring your own bag or backpack).
Tip: A good idea is to read the brochure (in many languages) before entering the interior of the castle so you know what exhibits to see inside.
To go all the way up, you have to climb 6 flights of stairs (the stairs are narrow, steep, and sometimes uneven)--there are usually handrails. The interior is full of interesting exhibits and, but you have to take your time to look for them. It can get a bit crowded inside.
Tip: There is a paid electric train that can transport you round trip or one way near the train station to the castle entrance.
There are multiple buildings and walls outside of the castle, so there is a lot of see if you have the time.
翻译:日本保存最完好的城堡之一。很难相信自 1333 年建成以来,其大部分原始结构都经受住了战争和地震的考验。原始的木梁和地板完好无损,并经过翻新。如果您乘坐火车前往姬路,城堡大门距离车站约 20-30 分钟步行路程。我们于 11 月的一个星期一参观,上午 10 点到达,当时有几个日本旅游团在参观。周末可能会很忙。
提示:如果下雨,主干道(Otemae Street)以东一个街区有一条有顶棚的步行街(MiyuKidori),通往城堡——MiyuKidori 上有很多商店和餐馆,值得在去往或返回火车站的路上看看。
提示:您必须在城堡内脱鞋,所以请穿舒适的袜子,他们会提供塑料袋供您在城堡内行走时将鞋子放进去(或者您可以自带包或背包)。
提示:在进入城堡内部之前,最好先阅读一下手册(有多种语言),这样你就知道里面有哪些展品可以参观。
要一路上去,你必须爬上 6 层楼梯(楼梯狭窄、陡峭,有时不平坦)——通常有扶手。内部充满了有趣的展品,但你必须花时间去寻找它们。里面可能会有点拥挤。
提示:火车站附近有付费电动火车可以往返或单程运送你到城堡入口。
城堡外面有多座建筑物和城墙,所以如果你有时间的话,有很多东西可以看。
