My first visit to Himeji Castle and my second visit to Arima Onsen. The guide moved efficiently, managing time well, and during my second visit to Arima Onsen, I was able to bathe without getting lost. The lunch was also good, and it was reassuring that the bus driver was Japanese. I returned to Osaka with a pleasant sense of fatigue.初めての姫路城、2度目の有馬温泉。ガイドさんは、無駄なく動き、時間配分が良く、2度目の有馬温泉では、迷わず入浴。昼食も良かったですし、バス運転手さんが日本人であることも安心でした。
心地よい疲労と共に大阪に戻りました。
