It is the most tourist attracting castle in Japan and is part of Japan’s “Three Famous Castles”. This castle serves the architectural purpose that castles are meant to serve. It has great defensive ability and emplacments for guns and/or cannons. One great defense Himeji Castle has is the maze that was set up in front of the castle. This castle has been featured in many tv shows and movies and is a great symbol of Japanese architecture.
