During my 2nd ship,the first port call was Himeji,Japan.I never being to Himeji before,so what i did,I ask my chief mate for shore leave at Himeji this time.Luckily my chief mate gave his permission.Our vessel made fast (Himeji Port) at 1330 hours.As i finished with mooring operation,i straightly go to cabin to get ready for shoreleave.Ar 1430 hours,i am joining the first bus going to Kyoto (Himeji city).As we arrived i straightly go to tourist information centre to get the city map for the place we want to visit.The only thing in my head was about to visit the Shirasagijo which was the most famous place in the city.To get there,it taking about 30 min by walking.Finally we arrived at Himeji castle.All I can say that Japanese people are very kind to every tourist who come to their place.

About 10 steps from the main gate,you will meet these guys for photo taking
I spent my time exploring this legendary castle until my shore leave finished at 1830 hours.It was a good memory and enjoyable moment for me.I wish that i can visit this castle one more time with my family.
