Himeji Castle - World Heritage Site, National Treasure 🏰 🏯

🏯【White Heron Castle】is the nickname for Himeji Castle, due to its towering Tenshu and the gleaming white plaster walls that resemble a heron standing tall. 🌸🌺🌿🍃 The Great Tenshu was constructed in 1601 and is one of the oldest existing Tenshu in Japan. 🏯Himeji Castle is well-preserved because it has never been bombed or burned down. Continuous restoration and repair efforts in Japan have allowed it to be presented more beautifully to visitors. 🌸🌺🌿🍃 #HimejiCastle 🏰 | #WorldHeritage 🌐 | #NationalTreasure 🏞️ 🌸🌺🌿🍃
