If the design brief for Echizen Ono Castle was 'reach for the stars', the architects certainly nailed it! 🌟 You'll find this hidden gem perched atop Mt Kameyama in the northwestern part of Ono City in Fukui Prefecture, at an altitude of about 249 metres. Feel on top of the world as you take in panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains and castle town below. 😍Head to Mt Inuyama to capture photos of the castle from afar. If conditions are just right, you might even see a castle 'floating' in the clouds. 📷 Captured by @ag.lr.88 #VisitJapanAU #Tradition

Aizu Sazaedo (turban-shell-like temple) location: Aizuwakamatsu, Hukushima, Japan completion year: 1796
Nature is often manicured to do the most amazing things in Japan. The Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture is no exception. Located a few hours north of Tokyo, it’s most famous for the wisteria flowers that come into bloom in late April. They appear in a variety of colors, with some of the oldest trees trellised into spectacular canopies and tunnels. Wisteria only have a short bloom once a year, so visitors flock to the park.

Architecture should always assume a positive and meaningful contribution in a chaotic suburban context…In Hiroshima, Japan, a special building brought some light and bliss to a similar situation!
