Japan’s most iconic castle is yours to build in Lego form, as is a Japanese garden to soothe your mind. Himeji Castle, located in Hyogo Prefecture, is widely considered Japan’s most beautiful samurai stronghold. While many of Japan’s current castles are modern reconstructions, Himeji has been standing since 1333, and as a castle built in wartime but never attacked, there’s a unique mix of strength and beauty to the White Heron Castle, as it’s also known. Himeji Castle is the subject of countless photographs, postcards, and travel guide covers, and now it’s captured Lego’s attention too, as the company has announced that a brand-new Himeji Castle Lego set is coming later this summer.
