Himeji Castle 2004
Himeji Castle is one of the true beauties of Japan. This Castle is the only remaining fully Wooden Castle left in Japan. Its beautiful white exterior is an amazing sight to be seen especially during Cherry Blossom in April every year.
This castle is a must visit. It is one of the few castles left in Japan that the interior hasn't been made to look more like a hotel rather than a castle. There are still many tools and weapons that were used inside the castle and in battle.

The grounds that surround the castle are also very beautiful and provide an excellent place to celebrate Hanami in Spring.
