Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Himeji Castle main keep

Wed, October 2, 2019, by Muza-chan
Seen from outside, the main keep of the Himeji castle has five floors, but in fact there are six. This was a construction method used at some castles to confuse the enemies. At Himeji, the second and third floors from the top appear to be a single floor. And for its enemies, the castle was ready with another hidden surprise, because it also has a basement...
