This one’s totally awesome:
It’s not just looking utterly different than european castles, it’s also an UNESCO world heritage site. It occupies an area of 233 hectares (576.8 acres), making it one of the biggest castles in the world. But the most interesting aspect is it’s impregnable defense system, which I wrote a short blog post about. Feel free to have a look at it at: https://oncastles.com/himeji-castle/ There are also a few more pictures included.
Please let me know what you think about it. Your feedback is very much appreciated!

I love learning about how ingenious Japanese construction was against earthquakes even hundreds of years ago.
