Their form was very unique. Nowadays, the number of Japanese castles are about

Osaka Castle, Himeji Castle and Shuri Castle.
I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us.
