Send Flowers to Himeji, Japan

The white castle of Himeji, often compared to a heron taking flight, is the finest surviving feudal castle in Japan and the pride of everyone who lives here. In early April the cherry trees bloom all around its walls, and the whole city seems to gather beneath them. It is the natural season for pale pink and white bouquets.

Himeji lies west of Kobe on the Seto Inland Sea. The broad Otemae avenue runs straight from the station to the castle gate, lined with shops and offices. Steel and chemical plants occupy the coast, and residential districts fill the plain to the north, toward the mountain temple of Engyoji on Mount Shosha.

It is a family-minded, somewhat traditional city, and its autumn shrine festivals are famously boisterous. Recipients are often parents and grandparents of people working in Osaka, Tokyo or overseas. To send flowers to Himeji, order before midnight Japan time for next-day delivery, Monday to Saturday. Same-day delivery is not offered, and we do not deliver on Sundays or national holidays.
