Himeji Castle, Hyogo

Enjoy a fabulous display of traditional and modern art works at Himeji Castle. In the evening, the castle grounds will be illuminated with beautiful lighting and guests will be wowed with projection-mapping art that narrates the historical background of the castle. At Sannomaru Square, a white heron that represents the castle because of its white exterior will fly through the historical scenes and architecture of the castle. An interactive exhibit will take place at Nishinomaru Garden (outside) and the Hyakken-Roka corridor (inside), as each visitor is given an LED-lit lantern that changes color by responding to the visitor’s location. The venue requires ¥1,000 for castle entry and during the evening from 6pm to 9pm, and the illumination event in the Hyakken-Roka corridor costs an additional ¥500 per person.
