Himeji Castle

Dating to 1333, Himeji Castle, located in Hyogo Prefecture’s city of Himeji, is regarded as the finest surviving example of prototypical Japanese castle architecture, comprising a network of 83 rooms with advanced defensive systems from the feudal period. The sister castles of Himeji Castle are Château de Chantilly in France and Conwy Castle in Wales.

Very imposing looking perched on top of the hill. It must have seemed impenetrable. V

Interesting tall castle. Looks like it must fare well with all the earthquakes there.
