Himeji Castle (Outside)
On our next day in Japan we took the bullet train from Hiroshima to Osaka, but made a stop at the city of Himeji, home of the incredible Himeji Castle.
This may be Japan's most famous castle, and it's like something out of a fairy tale.
This castle was built between 1601 and 1609, and has remained intact through wars and natural disasters.
It's Japan's most visited castle and it's easy to see why.

ReplyDeleteAn incredible piece of architecture - I can't wrap my mind around the time frame in which it was built. Wow! It has an interesting foundation of stone - I am sure they were deliberate with this design to make it stand out and above everything else. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us.
