Our first stop was Himeji castle...a very large fortress castle well worth the stop. We stopped however, on a Japanese holiday and it was packed!
on our way
never ending tunnels
Built in 1333, it was entirely constructed of wood and is made up of 83 buildings. Sometimes referred to as the white heron castle for its beautiful white exterior

Parts of the castle were closed for renovations, and we really needed more time to see the full extent of the grounds, but well worth seeing. Next stop, Hiroshima.
