Himeji Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in Japan. Also the Castle was designated as a World Heritate Site. Did you know that? This is because the Castle has an "elegant" posture, which resembles a white egret perching on the ground. It is nicknamed "Shirasaki Jyou (Enlgish: White Egret Castle).
We made a one day trip from Nagoya to
Himeji,
Hyogo Prefecture. Here are some pictures:
First, some pictures show Himeji Castle:
The above picture was taken from the street which has a lot of souvenir shops and restaurants. You can ride on the pulled rickshaw for the sightseeing.
Second, a beautiful Japanese garden:
The Japanese garden, located next to
Himeji Castle, features beautiful gardens, each of which has a unique garden motif, such as
rock/mountain,
river-through-it,
samurai warrior's,
flower/bamboo, and
summer trees.
