姫路 Himeji and 大阪 Osaka

My final weekend of travelling in Japan had two destinations; the grandest castle in all the land and the liveliest nightlife in all of Kansai. I whisked a few hundred kilometers on the shinkansen and ended up in Himeji, home to one of the 4 castles which are deemed "National Treasures". Whatever categorical heading you wish to use, the White Heron castle was certainly worth the hard-earned yen spent.
Marvel at the photos, and just dream of what the inside of a Dotombori Love Hotel is like.....
