About Himeji
Himeji is a castle city in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, dominated by Himeji Castle, a white-walled early seventeenth-century fortress known as the White Heron.
Himeji Castle stands on a low hill above the city's main street, its white plastered walls and layered roofs giving it the name White Heron Castle. The great keep was completed in the early seventeenth century and has come through wars, fires and earthquakes, which is why it was one of the first sites in Japan to be listed by UNESCO. Inside, steep wooden stairs climb through floors of heavy beams to a lookout over the rooftops.
