Middle-age and back

Posted in Japan, in English at 22:00 by foppel

Today I went to Himeji, where the Himeji-jou stands, one of the few existing Japanese Castles which actually survived Meiji restauration and WWII.

It is definitly beautiful and if you really like castles like me, then you should see it once..

And by the effort you have to take to get into it, I am talking about walking upwards here, you recognize that it is an unaltered castle, as it was not meant to be easy to get into it..

There have been 68 gates on the Castle-ground, now there are still around 20. I would show pics, but my camera-batteries died on me, so i can’t download them right now..
