Himeji Castle
Himeji Castle is a major tourist attraction in the Land of the Rising Sun, being the best-preserved medieval building in Japan. Its immaculate white profile rises on top of a hill in the Japanese region of Hyogo. On this site, the first building of what would later become Himeji Castle was built for defensive purposes in 1333, after numerous renovations, transformations and expansions. Himeji Castle with its 83 rooms impresses with the grace and elegance of its architectural style. The defensive purpose for which it was built justifies the fortified walls and the moat with water that surrounds the building.
