Hikone

We do not have enough time to visit Himeja whilst we are in Japan in April. Last time we were in Japan we visited Osaka castle, and we are wondering if a visit to Hikone Castle would be a worthwhile side trip from Kyoto where we are staying.



Hikone


I like the quiet atmosphere and beautiful cherry blossom in Hikone but time-wise, there%26#39;s no big difference between Himeji and Hikone.





You can reach JR Himeji station (closest to the castle) in 55 min by shinkasen. (45 min to JR Hikone station by JR rapid)
