Konnichiwa everyone!
My dear friend from Japan took my sister and me to visit Himeji Castle, one of the most beautiful and well-preserved Japanese castles. How amazing to see this part of history with my own eyes. To make the occasion even more special, I wore my favorite blue hydrangea flowers in my hair, to match the flowers blooming outside the castle. Thank you for coming with me on my adventure!

The walls had windows and openings in a variety of shapes, for arrows in case of intruders |

One of the castle lords was a Christian, and place a cross among the tiles along the roof |

We took off our shoes and walked through the castle, one floor at a time. Some rooms were lit with lanterns. |
