    Iwakuni -Sirasaki Shrine

    If you keep on walking you will find an older shrine but also with some snakes.
    But what remains in memory is the "sound" of the temple with its countless wind chimes.

    Iwakuni - White Snake Shrine

    After finishing the well know touristy stuff I headed for the shrine.

    In Japanese folklore, if a white snake is found in your home it is said to bring good fortune. The white snakes found in Iwakuni are usually the albino variety of the Japanese Rat Snake. They are gentle ivory white snakes with ruby colored eyes which can only be found in concentration at Iwakuni.

    Iwakuni - Castle

    The reconstruction looks nice from from the outside but inside it has the charm of a 70s government building as it has been constructed as a cement building...

    The view from the 4th floor on the other hand is amazing!

    Iwakuni - Castle

    The castle was originally constructed in 1608 by Hiroie Kikkawa, but was destroyed only seven years later on an official order as only one castle was allowed per region. It was reconstructed in 1962.

    Imagine building a castle and than a new law applies and it has to be destroyed...
