Himeji Castle (a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site) is the most beautiful in Japan. Located in the town of Himeji in Hyogo Prefecture, Himeji Castle was built on a natural hilltop between 1581 and 1609 CE. The complex is composed of a maze-like arrangement of fortified buildings, walls, and gates, with a six-story tower keep at its center. The entire complex is surrounded by defensive walls and a double moat. The castle is the largest and best-preserved samurai fortification in the country and is both an official National Treasure of Japan and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Castle renovation project was completed in 2015.
