Himeji Castle (姫路城)


This has got to be one of my favourite places in Japan. It is said to be one of the most beautiful castles remaining in this country. I used to visit Himeji quite often for work, and every time I would take a wander through the grounds (which are quite huge) and enjoy the scenery. If you ever come to Japan I highly recommend making your way there to take a look.
姫路城はとても奇麗で日本で一番気に入った所場所。数年前、仕事の関係でよく姫路に行ってた。その時、いつも必ず姫路城に行ってうろうろしてた。行ったことないなら、一回でも、行くべきだと思う。

Miyajima - World Heritage

I have just added some new pics to my site from Miyajima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. You have probably all seen pictures of the famous red torii gate which sits out over the water (above). It is one of the most photographed scenes in Japan. I live in Hiroshima and am lucky enough to have been able to get out there a number of times. It is a truly beautiful place to spend the day wandering around. If you want to see some of my pics like the one below, then go to my site at http://giphsub.smugmug.com/ and have a look.
