Himeji Castle: Largest Castle in Japan

Located in the Hyogo Prefecture, Himeji Castle is the largest and most popular castle in Japan. The castle also has a unique aspect, which is unlike many historical castles in the country, Himeji Castle has never been destroyed by any war or natural disaster. The castle’s history goes back to the late 14th century and early 15th century. These time periods were the most unstable times in Japan when civil wars were common and opposing shogunates were waging war on each other whenever they had the chance. Therefore, the castle was originally a fort to protect Harima Province against these shoguns.
