It's located between Piole Himeji, a commercial facility in JR Himeji Station, and Castle Garden, which is lower than the ground level.
It's outdoors, but it has a roof, so you can stay dry even if it rains.
You'll easily spot it, thanks to the catchy phrase "Welcome to Harima, the Home of Japanese Sake" and the Japanese sake barrels placed nearby.
By the way, there's a description in "Harima no Kuni Fudoki," a record compiled in the Nara period, that mentions offering sake to the gods. Since the Harima region is where the first sake in Japan was made, it's known as the home of Japanese sake.
Also, the Harima region is the birthplace of "Yamada Nishiki," the highest-grade sake rice.
