I mentioned one of the places I went over silver week was Himeiji Castle, also known as the “White Crane” castle, for all it’s beauty and elegance. It’s also (I believe) the oldest original castle still standing in Japan — many famous ones, like Osaka Castle, are reconstructions based on plans, paintings or pictures that were built after the original burned down. This photo was taken peeking down one of the arrow slits in the walls (though I guess it’s more of a hole).
