National Treasure Himeji Castle, together with Horyuji Temple of Nara, became the first world cultural heritage in Japan in December 1993.

It is characterized by a interconnected-style tower that has bright white walls made of white stucco, and 5 layer 7-story Tenshu. Himeji Castle is famous for the nickname of "Shirasagi Castle" from an elegant appearance like a white eglet spreading wings.

Now, Tenshu of Himeji Castle we are seeing was built in Keicho 14 (1609).
