We’re off on a bullet-train day-trip from Kyoto to Himeji to explore one of Japan’s most iconic sites, historic Himeji Castle. Please SUBSCRIBE to to follow the journey – https://bit.ly/32WZUjn
For almost 700 years, Himeji Castle has remained intact, even throughout the bombing of Himeji in World War II, and natural disasters including the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake, and in 1993 was registered as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country.
The castle is regarded as the finest surviving example of typical Japanese castle architecture, with a network of 83 rooms and advanced defensive systems from the feudal period. The castle is also frequently known as Hakuro-jō or Shirasagi-jō (“White Egret Castle” or “White Heron Castle”) because of its brilliant white exterior and supposed resemblance to a bird taking flight.

Brought back many memories when I visited with my pal Katsuya.
Inta….Shogun starring a Michael Chamberlain was filmed at Himeji. Xx
We enjoyed our 24 hrs in Himeji so much! 🙂 p.s. Katsu Sando's are the best!
Awesome place and nice work done on the video. Just a small recommendation: wireless mic? I know that means carrying more equipment but it will make ALOT of difference to the video.
Nice video!
There is a legend that a monster called Princess Osakabe lives in Himeji Castle.
