Japan trip: Himeji Castle around Kobe. Flying like an egret under the blue sky

A 9-day trip to Himeji Castle in Kobe, Japan in the summer of a certain year: Himeji Castle (White Egret Castle) A world cultural heritage, built on the top of Himeyama, it is the most complete and largest existing ancient castle in Japan and is known as Japan's number one castle. The castle tower is about 31 meters high, majestic and magnificent. The white city looks like a egret flying high in the blue sky. It is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu's granddaughter Senhime and her husband's family once lived a leisurely life here. Wandering around, one can indeed feel that this castle has a more elegant and refined feel than other castles, yet it still has strict internal and external defenses. The tiles with different family crests along the way also indirectly narrate the changes of the city lord.
