Le château de Himeji (姫路城, Himeji-jō?) est un château japonais situé à Himeji dans la préfecture de Hyōgo.
C'est l'une des plus vieilles structures du Japon médiéval. Inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO et désigné comme trésor culturel du Japon, avec Matsumoto-jō et Kumamoto-jō, c'est l'un des douze seuls châteaux japonais dont les donjons en bois soient encore existants (les autres ont été reconstruits après l'époque féodale, souvent dans les années 1960-1970). Il est aussi connu sous les sobriquets de « Hakuro-jô » ou « Shirasagi-jō » (白鷺城 = château du Héron blanc ou de l'aigrette blanche) en raison de sa couleur blanche et aussi par opposition aux deux autres célèbres châteaux d'Okayama (donjon reconstruit) et de Matsumoto (donjon authentique), tous deux de couleur noire.
Le château de Himeji apparaît souvent à la télévision japonaise. La raison en est simple, lorsque le tournage d'une fiction historique doit avoir lieu (Abarenbō Shōgun (en) par exemple), les producteurs se tournent naturellement vers ce château qui est le seul du Japon à être aussi bien conservé (donjon et murailles). C'est également le lieu où ont été tournées certaines scènes extérieures de Ran et de Kagemusha (deux célèbres films d'Akira Kurosawa), ainsi que pour la série télévisée américano-japonaise Shôgun. Le château apparaît aussi dans le film de James Bond On ne vit que deux fois (1967).
Le château a été conçu et réalisé pendant l'époque Nanboku-chō de la période Muromachi. En 1346, Akamatsu Sadanori prévoit de construire un château à la base du mont Himeji, où Akamatsu Norimura avait construit le temple Shomyo-ji. Après la chute d'Akamatsu durant la rébellion de Kakitsu, le clan Yamana reprit un moment à son compte l'idée d'un château ; mais les Akamatsu reprirent le dessus après la guerre d'Ōnin c'est à cette période qu'Akamatsu Masanori y ajoute deux enceintes.
En 1580, Toyotomi Hideyoshi prit le contrôle du château et Kuroda Yoshitaka construisit une tour de trois étages : l'actuel donjon.
À la suite de la bataille de Sekigahara en 1601, Ieyasu Tokugawa accorda le château de Himeji à Ikeda Terumasa son gendre. En 1609 le donjon de quatre étages est achevé puis en 1618 Tadamasa Honda fait élever les bâtiments de l'enceinte ouest.
Himeji fut l'un des derniers repaires des tozama daimyō à la fin de la période Edo. En 1868, le nouveau gouvernement japonais envoya l'armée Okayama, sous le commandement du descendant d'Ikeda Terumasa, pour déloger ses derniers occupants.
Quand le système des han fut aboli en 1871, le château de Himeji fut vendu aux enchères. Le prix d'achat fut de 23 yens et 50 sens. Cependant, le coût de son démantèlement se trouva être prohibitif et il fut finalement abandonné.
Le 10e Régiment d'infanterie occupa le château de Himeji en 1874 et le ministère de la Guerre en prit le contrôle en 1879. La tour principale fut rénovée en 1910, utilisant 90 000 yens de fonds publics.
Himeji a été bombardé en 1945, à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Bien qu'une école à proximité ait été totalement détruite par les flammes, le château a survécu, presque entièrement intact, à l'exception de quelques impacts.
Himeji Castle (姫路城 Himeji-jō?) is a hilltop Japanese castle complex located in the city of Himeji, Hyōgo, Japan. The castle is regarded as the finest surviving example of prototypical Japanese castle architecture, comprising a network of 83 buildings with advanced defensive systems from the feudal period. The castle is frequently known as Hakuro-jō or Shirasagi-jō ("White Egret Castle" or "White Heron Castle") because of its brilliant white exterior and supposed resemblance to a bird taking flight.
Himeji Castle dates to 1333, when Akamatsu Norimura built a fort on top of Himeyama hill. The fort was dismantled and rebuilt as Himeyama Castle in 1346, and then remodeled into Himeji Castle two centuries later. Himeji Castle was then significantly remodeled in 1581 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who added a three-story castle keep. In 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu awarded the castle to Ikeda Terumasa for his help in the Battle of Sekigahara, and Ikeda completely rebuilt the castle from 1601 to 1609, expanding it into a large castle complex. Several buildings were later added to the castle complex by Honda Tadamasa from 1617 to 1618. For over 400 years, Himeji Castle has remained intact, even throughout the extensive bombing of Himeji in World War II, and natural disasters such as the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake.
Himeji Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan, and it was registered in 1993 as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country. The area within the middle moat of the castle complex is a designated Special Historic Site and five structures of the castle are also designated National Treasures. Along with Matsumoto Castle and Kumamoto Castle, Himeji Castle is considered one of Japan's three premier castles. In order to preserve the castle buildings, it underwent restoration work for several years and reopened to the public on March 27, 2015. The works also removed decades of dirt and grime, restoring the formerly grey roof to its original brilliant white colour.

Wonderful structural, minimalist views of gas pipes outside of residences in Tel Aviv. These were all shapes and sizes and numbers of pipes. Generally a single larger pipe came up from the ground and spilt into multiple smaller pipes, connected with valves and meters, and then further pipes dissapeared into building walls.
