Day 2 - Japan Trip 2008 - Himeji Castle (4)

A closer look as we walked near the stair to the castle.


I like this tree very much especially its branches, is it kind of rain tree?

Castle gargoyle -- an imaginary tiger-headed fish, called kinshachi (金鯱); this motif is used as a talisman for fire prevention.
