Tentang lokasi ini: Kastil Himeji
Kastil Himeji, selesai tahun 1609, adalah Warisan Dunia dan Harta Nasional. Dindingnya yang diplester putih mengingatkan pada bangau putih yang sedang terbang, itulah julukan «Kastil Bangau Putih». Setelah restorasi 2009-2015, ia bersinar putih tanpa cela.

- Great Keep — Ikeda Terumasa's major reconstruction (1601–1609), the connected five-story-six-floor-plus-basement keep, the largest of Japan's 12 surviving originals
- Sannomaru Plaza and cherry blossoms — at peak bloom in early April, about 1,000 Yoshino cherry trees frame the white keep in the canonical composition
- Nishi-no-Maru Garden — where Princess Sen (wife of Toyotomi Hideyori) lived; the Keshou Yagura turret with autumn colors and the keep's side profile
