“LEGO have done a beautiful job with Himeji Castle, which is also known as the White Heron Castle or White Eagret Castle, with the white walls, and iconic grey roof. The details are really nice, and I think LEGO have done a superb job replicating Himeji’s Castle appearance,... More although I think price-wise, it’s a little bit on the expensive side, even if there are over 2000 pieces.”

Brick Fanatics
“21060 Himeji Castle is more than just its namesake: it’s a complete diorama, with a flavor of not only the building itself but also its upper grounds. There are buildable cherry trees – two with green leaves, and two with pink blossom – which add some much-needed color to... More the display, in the same way that the Nile and its trees help Giza to properly pop.”
