Exploring Himeji Castle
Ben HumphreysThe most visited castle in Japan, Himeji Castle, nicknamed the “White Heron” has been standing proudly on top of a hill called Himeyama for 400 years.
El castillo de Himeji se encuentra en la ciudad del mismo nombre en la prefectura de Hyogo y se considera uno de los castillos más bellos de Japón. Es conocido por su tamaño y belleza inigualables y es uno de los pocos castillos japoneses originales. Es uno especial Tesoro nacional y es Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.
El complejo original fue construido en 1346 antes de que Toyotomi Hideyoshi se hiciera cargo y lo reconstruyera en 1580. Después de la Batalla de Sekigahara y el comienzo relacionado del Shogunato Tokugawa, se expandió por segunda vez y se reconstruyó a su estructura actual.
Todo el castillo consta de 83 edificios individuales, que están dispuestos en espiral hacia arriba hasta el torreón. A pesar de su apariencia estética, el castillo de Himeji se consideraba una fortaleza inexpugnable y la estructura en forma de laberinto estaba destinada a ralentizar a los enemigos. Los edificios blancos con techos blancos también le valieron el sobrenombre de "Castillo de la Garza Blanca".
A diferencia de la mayoría de los castillos japoneses, se ha salvado de incendios, terremotos y bombas a lo largo de los siglos, por lo que se ha conservado casi en su forma original hasta el día de hoy. Es un destino de viaje popular, especialmente cuando las flores de cerezo están en flor, ya que los muchos cerezos plantados allí en combinación con la fachada blanca forman una atractiva oportunidad para tomar fotografías.
