There are lots of shops selling miso gohei-mochi and Hida beef skewers along the old street. You should definitely give them a try.

Himeji Castle
One of Japan's most renowned castles and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by Ikeda Terumasa in the early Edo period, the main keep has five exterior tiers, six aboveground floors, and one basement level. It is the largest surviving castle keep from the Edo period. The castle was constructed using a comprehensive defensive layout known as sokamae, with the entire castle town enclosed within its moats. It was large enough to encompass what is now central Himeji, and the outer moat is said to have been located around present-day Himeji Station.
It's truly amazing that Himeji Castle has survived wars, earthquakes, and air raids and is still so well preserved today.

Sakurajima Ferry
A public ferry operated by Kagoshima City, connecting Kagoshima Port and Sakurajima Port. The ride takes Approx. 15 minutes, making it an easy, enjoyable trip on the water. There are four ferry types, each carrying around 500 passengers and about 60 cars. Each vessel has different facilities and a cute nickname such as “Sakura Fairy” or “Princess Marine.” The biggest feature is 24-hour service.
The ferry ride is about 15 minutes.
It’s short, but taking in the bay and volcano views makes it a rare, relaxing little break.
