## Tips for Enjoying Hikone
- Use the Latest Technology: Experience history immersively at Hikone Castle with the MR audio guide "Auris." Just use your iPhone to bring the stories to life.
- Preparation is Key: When using the audio guide, don't forget to bring your earphones and ensure your smartphone is not on silent mode.
- Wear Comfortable Shoes: The area around Hikone Castle has many stone steps and slopes, so sneakers or walking shoes are highly recommended.
- Plan Your Time: Since the last entry to the castle tower is at 16:45, we suggest starting your afternoon sightseeing early.
