There are many castles and conservatory pavilions in Japan, but if we want to find a most representative city, it is not Egret City - Jilu City! Japan has experienced many battles in modern times. There are only 12 wooden ancient temples left. Jilu City is one of them. Of course, as the most well-preserved model, Jilu City of course also has such titles as World Heritage, National Treasure, etc. At present, the beautiful scenery, rather than looking at the poor text description of JT, it is more direct to see the picture directly! The pure white appearance of Jilu City brings you elegant visual shock. When you enter the ancient wooden structure of Tianshou Pavilion, you will be immersed in the elegant atmosphere of antiquity. Valuing the Antiquities and repairing the old as before are the correct attitudes of an excellent nation towards the heritage of its ancestors.

    If you are planning to visit a castle, this one is much of a better choice than Hiroshima or Osaka castle. For a simple reason; this one is real, the others are fake. From Himeji station it's a 15-20 minute walk, passing by different shops with souvenirs and other stuff. The park of the castle itself is not impressive but the castle, completely manufactured out of wood, is something special and very well preserved. I'm sure tons of rework and maintenance is being carried out to keep it in it's original shape but it remains cool to walk through. There is a designated walking route through the castle which brings you all the way to the top floor with some great views over Himeji. After your visit, it's totally worth visiting the neighboring garden Koko-en. I would say, for both the castle and graden, a 2,5 to 3 hours is enough traveling time excluded.

    Amazing from the outside but a bit plain on inside. Top tip - buy a combined ticket for stunning gardens next door

    Beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site near Himeji station. The castle can be viewed from various vantage spots around the city. The castle grounds and surrounding areas are free to visit but to enter the castle, you will need to pay a fee.

    Highly recommended, pure wooden buildings can climb to the 6th floor, there are two small Tianshou and the Lord God Shou next to the Lord Shou, the Tianshou Pavilion is very large, there are 100 corridors of Sanzhimaru, both defensive and residential functions, the city wall is full of shooting holes, It's hard to imagine a time when there weren't any cannons.

    Hiroshima City walks a ~ also known as Egret City, World Heritage Site, one of Japan's three famous cities, much larger than Osaka City. There are ninjas at the door to take pictures, tourists like weaving. Go to the Tianshou Pavilion, walk the corridor, see the original Japanese architecture, the original Japanese story ~

    My visit to Himeji Castle was truly unforgettable. The stunning beauty of the castle, often referred to as the "White Heron Castle," left me in awe. Its pristine white exterior against the backdrop of lush greenery was a sight to behold.But it wasn't just the exterior that captivated me. The inner structure of Himeji Castle is intricate and breathtaking. As I explored its labyrinthine passages, hidden rooms, and strategic openings designed for archers, I couldn't help but marvel at the architectural genius of the time.Walking through the corridors and rooms of the castle, I felt a profound connection to Japan's rich history and culture. Himeji Castle is not just a beautiful attraction; it's a living historical monument that allows visitors to step back in time and appreciate the legacy of this iconic structure.From the stunning beauty of the exterior to the intricate and breathtaking interior, my visit to Himeji Castle was an experience I will cherish forever.
