Yes, this is either a good review or not-so-good situation to any 
tourist. Himeji Castle is a castle in its own 
right. There are so much to see and explore. You will spend so much time
 going around depending on your curiosity and interest. Prepare yourself
 for a minimum of an hour and a half to complete your tour. You need to 
walk a lot and climb the stairs. Not a single elevator is installed within the castle as 
almost everything you will see are preserved and original. 
Moreover,
 as I mentioned above, it takes more than an hour to spend in the 
castle. You will spend another one and a half hours wandering around the
 vicinity like the Nishioyashiki
Garden, Shirotopia Memorial Park, and 
the three museums namely, Literature, History and Art.
