Himeji Castle is the first castle ruin in Japan to be registered as a World Heritage Site. Since the fort was built by the Akamatsu clan in 1333, the castle has been expanded and renovated, and a castle tower and turrets were built in the early Edo period. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, and 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of its registration as a World Heritage Site. Photo by Pixta
