The problem with that site is that it hasn't changed in years; it
could be new information (I don't often go to that particular page)
but since they're using HTML circa 1996 it's hard to be certain; if I
were a go-getter I'd offer to redo that site but I'm not really a go-
getter unless beer is directly involved. I went through the Himeji
Kanko page (much nicer and more reliable: http://www.himeji-kanko.jp/en/index.html)
and didn't see anything in English; my Japanese reading is crap so I
might ask the BYJW to look at it later.
