It's no surprise that this hilltop white-walled castle, resembling a heron in flight, is Japan's most visited castle. About a 90-minute drive west of Osaka, it's a remarkable example of Japanese medieval architecture — a complex of 83 buildings, with three moats and a tangle of spiraling pathways. Look out for the ghost of servant girl Okiku, who allegedly spurned the advances of a wealthy warlord in favor of her true love.
