Good to know
The "maze-like" design* of Himeji Castle was specifically crafted to confuse and slow down any intruding enemies. Throughout the castle, complex passageways and narrow staircases are strategically placed, creating a labyrinthine structure. This intricate layout was a defensive tactic, designed to disorient invaders and delay their advance. To reach the main keep, intruders would be forced to change direction multiple times, making it an exceptionally well-fortified design.
