Himeji Castle

Although a bit of a trek, we decided to visit Himeji Castle and set off on the one hour train ride. It was a scorcher that day, so on the walk between the station and the park we stopped at a hipster coffee joint that had a coffee float (ice cream annnnnd coffee?!). At Himeji, we went along the side passages and the main castle. It's been through a storied history, burned down like 6 times, and was recently restored in 2014. I think the wood joinery was the most impressive; amazing craftsmanship. Only thing missing is AC.Les mer
