Appearance of big castle tower of national treasure Himeji Castle

The top roof of the big castle tower of the world Heritage and national treasure Himeji Castle (Located in Hyogo Prefecture, Himeji City) enclosure was removed for repair work, and it appeared after an interval of about three and half years. 







The white outer wall is also called as “Shirasagi-jo”, and I saw the new beautiful appearance. 









The construction work “Major repair of Heisei era” started from October 2009, and completed in November 2013. At present, the dismantling work of the enclosure is in progress.

The roof tiles were replaced, the darkened mortar were painted.







The cracked fish tail fin was also made newly.



The entire castle tower can be seen during August. 

The internal of the castle will be opened from March 27 next year.







This is my most favorite castle.
