Himeji Castle is perhaps the most beautiful
castle in Japan today. Its 78 separate buildings,
the largest of which rises five storeys above the
top of the hill, seem to float above the city of
Himeji. Potential invaders could only reach the
castle by scrambling up narrow paths carved into
the side of the hill. Here, it was nearly
impossible to hide from the arrows that rained
down on them from the walls above, making the
castle unassailable.
