Himeji Castle

One of Japan's most renowned castles and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by Ikeda Terumasa in the early Edo period, the main keep has five exterior tiers, six aboveground floors, and one basement level. It is the largest surviving castle keep from the Edo period. The castle was constructed using a comprehensive defensive layout known as sokamae, with the entire castle town enclosed within its moats. It was large enough to encompass what is now central Himeji, and the outer moat is said to have been located around present-day Himeji Station.

The exterior of Tokyo Station, built in 1914, has over a hundred years of history. Unlike other stations in Japan, it's a beautiful red brick building in the Renaissance style. The station looks especially stunning at night, and the surrounding area is really lively too.

I've already visited Tokyo Tower years ago, so this time I decided to check out Tokyo Skytree. Buying tickets on-site took a bit of time, but the view from the observation deck is just amazing. Honestly, the highlight was how polite and friendly the elevator staff were.

As soon as you walk in, there's a food court where you can grab a bite. After that, I headed to the supermarket on the first floor to stock up on snacks and daily necessities. Ended up buying a lot!
