This is Himeji Castle, nicknamed "White Crane". It sits atop a hill in Himeji, and was completed in it present form in 1609, and used until 1868. It sat for years in disrepair before eventually being restored to its former glory. Considered one of the finest surviving Japanese castle.
In my shot I tried to get an angle that would show the Castle Keep's flying crane aspect, while showing a few other parts of the complex.
