In commemoration of the “Hyogo Destination Campaign (Hyogo DC),” a large-scale tourism campaign, “Special Castle Seal” was created in collaboration with “West Express Ginga,” a special express train operated by JR West Japan (West Japan Railway Company) and “Himeji Castle.
Special castle stamps will be presented to those who purchase the “Kobe-Himeji Digital Pass,” a special Hyogo DC product, and enter Himeji Castle.
The design is based on the image of the “WEST EXPRESS Ginga” train car, which has the unique feature of being a new long-distance train that also runs at night, and “Himeji Castle,” which shines beautifully at night, against a black background that evokes night and the night sky. The words “Kunitachi Himeji Castle” are extracted from the wooden signboard that hangs over the mirror pillar of the Hishinomiya Gate, and remain as special characters.
To receive the special seal, purchase the “Kobe-Himeji Digital Pass” on the “tabiwa by WESTER” smartphone application and use the “Himeji Castle Entry Ticket” included in the set to receive the seal when entering the castle.
The “Kobe-Himeji Digital Pass” will be on sale until September 30 and valid for two consecutive days until October 1.

The pass is so economical that you can almost pay for the round trip between Kobe and Himeji and admission to Himeji Castle! And since it is valid for two days, you might want to make a stopover or extend your trip to Banshu-Ako or Arima area.
