Our hot trip to Japan 2017. Day 5, part 1

13.30, Himeji castle
It's not a good idea, not a good idea at all to visit castles in July. 31 degrees in the air around you, and you have to go up and up to the fortress on the hill...
And still, I cannot stop wondering how beautiful these ancient treasures are when you look at them close.

15.20, Kokoen garden
The plate near the entrance says 'Lord's Garden'. Oh yes, if I were a lord I would want a garden like this to think of the future of my estate. Or better to say, it's nice to be a lord, even if you have to think about the future of your estate, when you have a garden like this.
