Château de Swan, Japanese castle in Uchikoshi, Himeji City, Japan

Château de Swan is a scaled replica of Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle located within the Taiyo Koen theme park in Himeji City. The structure features white limestone walls, tall towers, and ornamental turrets that mirror the Alpine fortress design, creating an immersive European setting in a Japanese landscape.

The castle was built in modern times as a European-inspired architectural project within a Japanese theme park setting. It represents a contemporary approach to honoring international design traditions while creating an entertainment destination for local and visiting audiences.

The Welcome House Swan accompanies the castle structure, offering Japanese and international dining options, including vegetarian curry and halal-certified meals.

The grounds are fully accessible for visitors with mobility needs, with barrier-free pathways throughout the complex. Parking is readily available on-site, allowing easy access to the castle and surrounding park facilities regardless of transportation method.

The castle houses a Welcome House with dining options featuring both Japanese and international cuisine, including vegetarian and halal-certified meals. This culinary diversity reflects the site's commitment to welcoming visitors from around the world with varied dietary needs.
