Himeji Castle
Himeji Castle was completed in 1609 and unlike most Japanese castles was never destroyed by wars, earthquakes or fires. It is designated as a national treasure and a UNESCO world heritage site. It is close to Kyoto so it makes a nice day trip from that city. A virtual tour of the castle is available online.
