Himeji Hanami Party
Date: Saturday April 3 at
Time: 11:00am
Where: Himeji Castle grounds.
Contact: www.oocities.org/tajultimate

Event outline &
Information:

Bring: Bento lunch, something soft/dry to sit on in case the ground is wet, foreign and Japanese friends, camera, beverages, booze etc.

Other Details: April 3 is “Himeji-jo” day. Admission to the castle will be free and there will special performances of the taiko drums, shakuhachi bamboo flute and 100 kotos in the grounds in front of the castle. You can purchase a kitch souvenir cup and endless sake refills for \500 in the sake tents in front of the castle. You can also enjoy Japanese “tea ceremony” (Sado) in Koko-en (gardens) to the left side of the outside moat. This is a casual and free event so there is no need to RSVP. The castle grounds will be chaos so it is pretty much a case of every man/woman for themselves. This event is a blast and well worth the early start!

Directions: Meet at the Baskin Robins just outside the Himeji JR station. If you miss us head up to the castle ground and look for all the gaijin.
