I went to the Himeji Castle where I wanted to go before. It was a sunny day, and I saw a lovely baby ^^ I took a picture escondida hehehe

姫路城(Himeji Castle), built in the early 17th century, represents the highest achievement in Japanese castle architecture.Designated as a national treasure (国宝) in 1931, the castle was registered as the World Cultural Heritage(世界文化遺産) of UNESCO in 1993 as the first cultural site in Japan. The registration occurred because the castle has kept its original design at the time of construction, such as turrets, stone walls, gates, and moats, which still survive today.

What did you think of my picture? This scenery in my picture is still summer, but you know, we can enjoy four seasons of the Himeji Castle ^^

spring:There are about 1,000 cherry trees around Himeji Castle. They are in full bloom from the end of March to the beginning of April. Cherry blossom viewers can enjoy the breathtaking view.
summer: The bright sunshine creates shadows on the white plastered walls of Castle and enhances the beauty of the surrounding green trees.
autum:The crimson leaves of the maple trees look as if they are welcoming the coming of winter.
winter:From January until February, you may see the Castle covered in a blanket of snow, showing yet another picturesque view.

Take enough time to tour around the castle, when you go!!!!!

This is night views of Kobe... how romantic!

Do you know Kobe earthquake (阪神・淡路大震災), occurred on Tuesday, January 17, 1995, at 05:46 in the southern part of Hyogo Prefecture? It measured 7.3 on the revised magnitude scale. The tremors lasted for approximately 20 seconds. Approximately 6,434 people lost their lives; about 4,600 of them were from Kobe. So, completey the city was destroyed by this earthquake.

But, this time, I saw Kobe that had revived very beautiful! This spectacle made me happy. Now.. I wish victim's mind also to revive as soon as possible.

And now... , Ooooooosakaaaaa(大阪)!

Ah no, I'll sleep tonight.. zzz
