SUBJECT: WELCOME FOR USS JOHN S. MCCAIN, AUGUST 24th-AUGUST 28th 
VISIT TO HIMEJI 
 
1. (U) Consulate General Osaka-Kobe welcomes the visit of the USS 
John S. McCain, scheduled for August 24 to August 28.  We look 
forward to assisting the McCain again in any way we can to make this 
visit successful and enjoyable for all involved. 
 
------------------------------- 
Security Background Information 
------------------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) Consulate General Osaka-Kobe has assisted with 12 ship 
visits in the last 6 years, most recently with the visit of the 
McCain to Sakaiminato.  Our past ship visits have been successful in 
contributing to an improved atmosphere for naval exchanges in the 
Kansai region, and the recent Sakaiminato visit of the McCain drew 
wide support from the community, including City Hall and the Chamber 
of Commerce. 
 
3. (SBU) The Consulate has made every effort to ensure the best 
possible berth for this visit, and has arranged for the McCain to 
dock at the Shikama berth of Himeji Port,which offers access to the 
city center. 
 
4. (SBU) As of yet, no organizations have applied for demonstration 
permits to protest the McCain's arrival. The Consulate will provide 
additional information on scheduled demonstrations as it becomes 
available. 
 
5. (SBU) In the past, the Consulate has received as many as 100 
protest letters from organizations and individuals opposed to 
proposed visits.  For the upcoming visit of the USS John S. McCain, 
the Consulate has received 7 protest letters to date. Port, Coast 
Guard and Police officials have been responsive to all security 
concerns raised by the Consulate. 
 
6. (U) Himeji Port extends for 18 kilometers east to west, and 
serves as the pivotal port for the Harima Coastal Industrial Zone. 
Its primary industries are steel, oil, chemical and electrical 
energy and Himeji port activity is valuable to the economy of Japan 
as a whole. 
 
-------------------- 
Regional Background 
-------------------- 
 
7.  (U) Located on the southerwestern side of Hyogo Prefecture, the 
seaport of Himeji is the hub port for the Harima Coastal Industrial 
Zone.  Himeji was founded in 1889 and is home to approximately 
460,000 residents. The city rests between mountains (Mt. Masui, Mt. 
Hiromine and Mt. Shosha) to the north, and the Seto Inland Sea to 
the south. Himeji has flourished as a transportation and industrial 
center since its founding, assisted by its proximity to other larger 
economic and cultural centers, such as the cities of Kyoto, Osaka and 
Kobe. 
 
------------------- 
Access Information 
------------------- 
 
8. (U) Himeji is internationally famous for its stunning castle, but 
for crew on liberty, Himeji Port also acts as the main gate to the 
Seto Inland Sea, to Ieshima Island, and to Shodoshima Island, 
popular with local tourists. At each of these locations, one can 
enjoy onsen (hot springs), hiking, kayaking and ample water sports. 
Additionally, Himeji is in the heart of vibrant Hyogo prefecture, 
approximately an hour from the port city of Kobe, and two hours from 
the metropolitan hub of Osaka, with connections to the tourist 
destinations in western and central Japan such as Kyoto, Nara, 
Wakayama, Nagoya, etc. 
 
9.  (U) The Consulate has requested Himeji City provide English 
language tourist materials for the crew's reference.

Schedule

10.  (SBU) The current draft schedule for the USS John S. McCain's 
visit is as follows; we anticipate that detailed updates and changes 
will be necessary.  They will be communicated via email and telephone
