# Himeji Castle, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture
Himeji Castle, also known as "White Heron Castle" due to its elegant,
white appearance, is one of Japan's most famous and historic castles.
Located in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, this UNESCO World Heritage
Site is a masterpiece of Japanese castle architecture, combining both
defensive and aesthetic qualities in a way that is both beautiful and
powerful. It is one of the few original castles in Japan that has
survived the test of time, including wars and natural disasters.
## Highlights
- **Architectural Grandeur:** Himeji Castle is renowned for its advanced
defensive features and intricate beauty. The castle's architecture is
designed to confuse attackers, featuring a series of winding paths
leading to the main keep.
- **Sakura Viewing:** The castle grounds are famous for cherry blossom
viewing in the spring when the surrounding gardens are in full bloom,
creating a stunning contrast with the white plastered walls of the castle.
- **Historical Significance:** Built in the early 17th century, Himeji
Castle has remained intact through the Edo period and serves as an
excellent example of prototypical Japanese castle architecture.
- **Engaging Exhibits:** Inside the castle, visitors can explore many
well-preserved rooms and exhibitions that showcase armor, weapons, and
other artifacts that illustrate the lifestyle and culture of the samurai
era.
## Access
Himeji Castle is a 15-20 minute walk from Himeji Station, which is
well-connected by the Shinkansen (bullet train), making it easily
accessible from major cities like Osaka and Kyoto. The walk from the
station to the castle provides a beautiful approach, ideal for photos.
