Miscellaneous

Climate
Mid-November is in the middle of autumn and is sometimes cold. The temperature in Himeji normally ranges from 10 to 15 degrees centigrade.

Meals
For lunches, many restaurants in the neighboring area propose menus with a wide variety of foods. Indeed, in Himeji, there are many restaurants. In international-class hotels, meals are expensive - sometimes more than JY10,000 for a dinner and JY2,000 for breakfast. But, if you explore neighboring restaurants, you can enjoy dinner for JY1,000 to JY2,000 or less, and breakfast for JY500.

Electricity
The electricity for use is uniformly 100 volts AC throughout Japan, but there are two different frequencies in use - 60 Hz in western Japan, which includes Himeji , Osaka, Kyoto and Nagoya, and 50 Hz in eastern Japan, which includes Tokyo. Their sockets usually accept only two-prong plugs.

Car Parking
Driving and Parking in Japan is generally a troublesome matter. Please use public transportation.
