himeji castle, mother of all japanese castles.
antonette and i skipped town and decided to spend a few days in the kansai region. it's pretty far away, but if you take the shinkansen (the bullet train) it's only a 50 min. train ride from nagoya. more footage of that later.
we spent our first day traveling to himeji, a city famous for it's castle. himeji castle is one of twelve japanese castles still standing in their original condition. it's also the largest. below is a 2 part video of the castle followed by a slideshow. take a look.
