Wow! I know Himeji has some awesome things like Himeji Castle of course, but to just find this while going for a walk, how cool is that! Speaking of Himeji Castle, I wish I could have see nthe projection mapping event they had there in 2015? I think it was. Hopefully they do something like that again because I'd love to go and see it for myself. I envy anyone who got to see it in person? I really like the stone lanterns and small Buddhist statues in this photo as well, it really gives that temple feel. I'll have to be on the lookout for this place when I visit Himeji!
