Multiple Castle Buildings
I believe there are 4 different towers in this castle. Never attacked, the towers were only used for storage and practice. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Himeji > Multiple Castle Buildings

Castle With Interior Moat
If I had a castle, I would certainly want a small forest growing in it. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Himeji > Castle With Interior Moat

Sponsors Visible
Each Torii is sponsored. The Sponsors is written on one side of the Torri so the Torii are clean going in and the credits run on the way out. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Kyoto > Sponsors Visible

Rock Garden
This is the Zen Garden in Ryoan-ji. From the viewing platform you attempt to see all 15 stones, but only 14 (or fewer) are visible from any position. This fifteenth century garden has all sorts of tricks. The far wall isn't even close to level and gives you a sense of depth from the forced perspective. The trees behind the back wall all have seasonal version (Cherry blossums, or falls colors, evergreen or deciduous.). The garden runs roughly east to west and the viewing platform is on the north side so the shadows change over the course of the day.
