This beautification of the footpaths, featuring a camphor tree avenue and bronze statues, was completed between 1984 and 1988. Many high-caliber works by renowned sculptors are exhibited here.

The avenue making the junction between the station and the castle (15 minutes walk) is worth the effort to walk. This walk offers a beautiful perspective on Himeji Castle and is lined with beautiful sculptures.
