For our final beyond Okinawa travels of our time living in the subtropic Pacific, we visited mainland Japan for a final tour. Our very first stop was in Himeji (of Hyogo Prefecture) to marvel over the much-lauded & extolled feat of history, Himeji-jō, an official Japanese National Cultural Treasure & a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of Japan's "Three Famous Castles" (the other 2 being Matsumoto-jō & Kumamoto-jō), and is the most visited castle in Japan.
It was very ornate, grandiose, impressive & photos do not do it full justice (do they ever?) but here is a slideshow of the hundreds that we snapped during our day in Himeji:
