Known as the white treasure of the sky, Jilu City, when I came ten years ago because of the Tianshou maintenance fortifications, I didn't see the shape of the big white dragonfly, leaving a lot of regret. This time I came to the dragonfly and finally repaired it. I finally could see the scenery here. The whiteness known as the sky is very eye-catching. On the one hand, the color of the city is white, and on the other hand, it is also because the sky is very tall and magnificent, and you can see it from a long distance. In fact, you can see the sky from the parking lot outside. The entire Himeji City display area is still very large, first of all, you need to enter a large section of the road with garden nature from the main entrance, before you can go to the ticket office, friendly reminder here to buy tickets can be Alipay or UnionPay card. After checking the ticket, you can see different city defense facilities, iron guns and bow and arrow windows, and city defense facilities on different city gates. Because the entire Himeji City was completely preserved under Meiji demolition and World War II bombing, so it is very late to save. The city needs to pass through various curves to finally reach the Tianshou Pavilion. Because the Tianshou Pavilion in Himeji City is newly renovated, it feels good, and the interior feels very spacious, especially the several floors downstairs. There are not many exhibitions in the entire Tianshou Pavilion. In addition to the city defense facilities, the most important thing is the two large pillars of the east and west. These two tall trees support the entire building together and extend to the top floor of Tianshou Pavilion. If there is a tour guide, you can listen to these stories. After climbing to the top, there is also a feeling of seeing the mountains. Of course, the main hair dryer is also very comfortable. There are not many high-rise buildings in Himeji City, and the visibility is still very far away. You can go to a square to take a panoramic view and then return. It is highly recommended to have time to see Himeji City here. There are four national treasures in Japan. Inushan is a small place where you don’t even need to climb a ladder. The scale of Songjiang and Matsumoto is also much smaller. It is still very special. It is recommended to reserve enough time.

    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.
