Himeji Castle - one of the World Heritage lists
i went to Himeji Castle on the last weekend.
My eldest son is actually interested in Japanese history, as i wrote before.
But...it was scorching on the day. We got tired a little. :-) But we was able to have a good time.
Himeji catsle was registered on the World Heritage list in 1993 as the 1st cultural site in Japan, you know. The reason of the registration was, that the castle had kept its original design at the time of construction. We often call the castle, "Shirasagi castle". "Shirasagi" means "White Heron" in Japanese. it looks beautiful like white heron.
BTW, i met a couple of Belgians there. i had a chat with them, of course in English.
The girl wore a ring...i guessed that was an engagement ring.
i asked them "On honeymoon ?"...
But, they laughed and said "Just friends". i was so embarrassed. :-p

Hi Matthias Ripp,
Thanks you for your visit.
Yes ! there are usually many tourists at the castle.
You can research more on this site, i think.
By the way, i'd heard your name "Matthias" before.
When i was an university student, i'd sometimes listened to "Scorpions" - Germany's Heavy Rock band.
The guitarist of the band was "Matthias Jabs", if i remember correctly.
is the name a very popular in Germany ?
