 Wakon Japanese Shop by heywinks
The staff is really friendly and don`t hesitate to offer a smile.
NOTE: There are 3 Wakon shops in Himeji but my favorite is the one underneath JR Himeji Station. There is another Wakon on Miyuki Dori (the shopping street) in front of the station to the right , and the other is in Taisho town.
You can buy kimonos, stationary, pottery/kitchenware, incense, goods made of Japanese fabric: hair pins, boxes, bookcovers, dolls, mirrors, keychains, etc.
Everything is beautiful and you will want to buy everything you see!
Prices range depending on the product but I think that all the prices are reasonable and comparable to other shops.

The shop is right next to the escalators.

 BanSanKan Himeji Souvenir Shop by heywinks
On the south side of the station there is a shop named BANSANKAN to the right of the station on the corner that sells Himeji goods (open daily from 9am-7pm).
When coming to himeji you must try TAMATSUBAKI, a famous sweet. you can buy it in the department stores (YAMATO YASHIKI or SANYO DEPT STORE), the south entrance of JR Himeji station (inside the gate), or underneath JR Himeji station at FESTA. It's a fragile red bean sweet that is often eaten with Japanese green tea (but by itself it is delicious as well).
THINGS TO BUY AS SOUVENIRS:
HIMEYAMA DOLLS-carved female wooden dolls
HIMEJI TOPS
HIMEJI HARIKO-paper mache masks
HIMEKAWA-ZAIKU-leather goods
MYOCHIN HIBASHI-chimes
Depends on the item. Pay in Japanese Yen. Credit cards are accepted in some stores. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

Look for the shop with beautiful fruit in front and bottles on shelves along the right hand wall. The owner speaks some English and stocks Australian wines which (sorry Japan) are way more drinkable than any Japanese brands I've found so far. The shop is near to the main shopping street and only about 3 minutes from the JR station on the north side. The fruit I've bought there is expensive and worth it and beautifully packaged although I have not tried the $50.00 honeydew melon!!
A bottle of Yellow Tail Chardonnay was about $11.00 US dollars. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

You can get bento box almost anywhere including JR Station. However hold your temptation.
If your intention to visit Himeji Castle and would love to buy your lunch or snack to enjoy the view I recommend Himeji Shopping Arcade. Varieties of beautiful bento box.
How to get there?
Walk out from the station and cross first traffic light and keep to your right, you past couple of shops till you see an shopping arcade mainly selling clothes at first sight. Go inside and the left and you'll get to see so vendor stall displaying hundreds of Bento Box.
Price is between JPY300-JPY800 per box Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink
