Topic 4 Himeji Castle

 Today, I'll introduce a beautiful Japanese castle "Himeji Castle." Sometimes, it is called "Shirasagi Castle," because it's similar in appearance to a white egret that has spread its wings. (Shirasagi is "White egret" in Japanese.) In 1993, Himeji Castle was recognized as the first world heritage site in Japan along with "Horyuji in Nara."
