[🇯🇵Himeji] Visit the beautiful Himeji Castle, also known as the White Heron Castle

Himeji Castle, with its pure white castle tower shining against the blue sky. This famous castle, which is also registered as a World Heritage Site, gives you a sense of Japan's history and high aesthetic sense every time you visit. Elegant castle tower like a white heron The greatest attraction of Himeji Castle is the beauty of its castle tower. The exterior walls painted with white plaster spread out gracefully like a white heron spreading its wings. You can see it clearly even from afar, and you can once again feel the grandeur of the castle. Ingenious defensive structure When you step inside the castle, you will be amazed by the maze-like corridors and the deliberately poor visibility. Numerous mechanisms designed to prevent enemy invasions still remain, and you can see that it is not only beautiful, but also strategically structured. The top floor of the castle tower with a great view If you climb to the top floor of the castle tower, you can see the whole city of Himeji. On a clear day, you can see far into the distance, and experience the mysterious feeling of the past and present intersecting. It's a special time to feel the breeze as you feel the remnants of the castle town. The scenery changes with the seasons Himeji Castle is surrounded by cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn. Its appearance in harmony with nature shows a different expression no matter what season you visit. We recommend taking a leisurely stroll around the castle with a camera in hand. #HimejiCastle #WhiteHeronCastle #FamousJapaneseCastles #WorldHeritage #HyogoTrip #JapaneseHistory #HimejiTourism #Spring0YenTrip
