Himeji Castle

Himeji Castle is a castle located in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Because of its white façade, it is also known as Egret City. Together with Kumamoto Castle and Matsumoto Castle, it is known as the three famous castles in Japan. Due to its high degree of preservation, it is known as "Japan's first city".

Here you have the opportunity to wear armor and experience the feeling of becoming a Sengoku samurai, or wear a ninja costume and follow the professionals to learn dart throwing and "killing" techniques, or wear the costumes of Chihime, Daio, and samurai and successfully transform through the skillful hands of the staff. The rich experience activities in the park are loved by children, so it is recommended to call the Himeji Customs and Culture Center one day in advance to make an appointment (Tel: [phone])

In December 1993, it became the first National Treasure City in Japan to be registered as a Unesco World Heritage Site. Himeji Castle is located in the center of Himeji City and is the main symbol of the city. Many period dramas and movies were also filmed here, or Himeji Castle was used as a symbol of Edo Castle, which no longer existed. Himeji Castle is located in the southern part of Hyogo Prefecture, with an elegant style and many places of interest and historical sites, and is a historical city in Japan. The castle consists of 83 buildings, which have a highly developed defense system and elaborate protective devices. Castles also contribute to our understanding of Japanese feudal culture that began in the shogunate era. Himeji Castle is the best-preserved example of early 17th-century architecture, while Japanese defensive construction techniques in this era were at their peak. Eight buildings, including the main castle tower, are considered national treasures, and the remaining 74 are recognized as important cultural properties of the country. The well-preserved buildings and outlying fortifications not only show the world a great heritage, but also reflect the sophistication and strategic defense skills of Japanese castle architecture.
