Himeji Castle

My nickname here is "mktf". This contains two initials which I don't
intend to write (^_^;;; Anyway, mktf lives in western part of Japan.
There is Himeji castle near here. This castle is selected as a World
Heritage by UNESCO.

Himeji-jo
- UNESCO World Heritage Centre

"jo" means castle.

This castle is also called "Shirasagi-jo" or "egret castle", because
it looks like an egret. In spring, many cherry trees blossoms in the
park inside and near the castle. There are threefolded fosse around
the castle, and swans live in it. The castle is built on a hill and
the view from the top is very good. I'd like to put the picture here
some day... before that, I have to check how to put pictures here (^_^;;;
