世界遺産・国の特別史跡・国宝 現存十二天守の一つ・日本100名城 この城を讃える称号は多数ある 更に京都が多数の寺社などで インバウンド客を集めるのに対し この城一つで集める強力コンテンツでもある 城の事は詳しい人が一杯記事を書いているので そちらを参照してください 開城時間は9:00~17:00(入城は16:00まで) 入城料は大人(18歳以上)1000円 小人(小・中・高校生)300円で小学校就学前は無料 18歳でも高校生なら小人料金 姫路城・好古園(共通券)の入城料金の場合 大人1050円・小人360円とお得なんだけど 姫路城登った後で好古園行く体力があるかどうか... 駐車場は大手前公園地下駐車場や 大手門駐車場だけでも900台近く停められるので その辺選べば問題ない おススメは大手門の方 理由は駐車場から城へ至る道の間 城が綺麗に見えて気分が盛り上がるから 食事は大手前公園から本町商店街経由で みゆき通りに出ればいくらでもあるけど 名物の姫路おでんは…夕方以降かなぁ 城に関しては1000円出して大天守に登っても お金を出さずに無料エリアウロウロしてても 満足度は高い 無料エリアである北側は遺構もあるのに 何故か人が少ない 人が多すぎて…って人は行ってみれば? ただ、2026年3月1日を目途に 18歳以上の姫路市民以外の人は1000円から2500円に 値上げ予定なので 一度行ってみたいって人は急いだ方が良い?!

2025年2月26日に訪れました。 車は大手門駐車場が広く停めやすかったです。 入城チケットも平日でしたので待ち時間も無くスムーズに天守閣まで登れました。 城内はおそらく階段しかない為、車椅子の方や足腰が弱い方は天守閣まで登れないと思います。 東側の特別公開も見ましたが、素人目線だと、あまり特別感は感じませんでした…

お城の中はあまり興味がないので、周辺や外観の感想のみ。 立派さや場内の広さなど、私の中では熊本城と双璧をなすお城だった。まちがいなく、見学する価値はあると思う。周辺の雰囲気もいいし、一度は行くべきではと思う。 改修後しばらく経過したが、改修直後より屋根の色が落ち着いたように感じたが、気のせいだろうか。 周辺には駐車場の数は多いし、姫路駅からも商店街をブラブラ歩いて行けるので、車利用でも公共交通機関利用でも行きやすいと思う。
