Kobe Trip Part 3:Himeji Castle And Shrine

This is Himeji Castle, a Unesco Heritage Site.It's one of the only standing castles left in japan in it's original form. Most of the other castles are replicas when it was burned down or destroyed in WW2.


The wall there is the West Bailey , can go in there. pretty cool. apparently some hot chick princess stayed there.

i saw a pic just like this but it was in winter (or was it autumn)was at night too and there was a moon on top of it.nice effect. i guess the castle would be a better view at nice cause it's white d and doesnt produce any contrast with the sky.

this coffin is part of the wall of the castle. pretty neat eh?

Himeji Shrine, a 5 min walk from the castle. nothing great here...

remember a couple of posts before where i took pics of the water thingy,this one is just the same but the water's coming out from d dragon!

hehe, abit short here.. next stop:Kobe!!
