Himeji Castle is also known as the “White Heron Castle” because its elegant white walls and roof tiles are as beautiful as a white heron spreading its wings.
From a distance, Himeji Castle’s towering main keep looks truly imposing. Its white exterior shines in the sunlight, while the layered eaves and intricate castle design immediately convey its grandeur and sense of history. As you slowly walk along the paths inside the castle, passing through gates, stone walls, and gardens, you can enjoy a different view of Himeji Castle from every angle. It looks great in every photo!
I hope I can visit next time during cherry blossom season!
