Himeji Castle
Follow Himeji Castle’s winding defences towards its white-walled wooden keep, where the architecture is as compelling from within as from the city below.

UNMAPPED JAPAN / LENS
Use this Lens to place haunted-site stops into an itinerary. Compare locations by destination, then open each guide for the historical context and practical details before deciding whether it fits the route.
Use this Lens when a haunting tradition is the reason you want to route through a place. Use Mythology for story-first research and Strange Places when the itinerary interest is unusual character without a supernatural claim.
Use Discover to search the Places catalog by destination, Lens and keyword.
