Japan - Wooden Structures

Nagoya Castle / former Hommaru Palace Osaka Castle

Kasuka Shrine (Nara)
Hiroshima CastleFushimi Inari Taisha (Kyoto)
Miyajima Taisha

The ancient structures were amazing. Most are replicas built in the past fifty years since U.S. bombs basically leveled Japan in '45. Some survived though, so we were able to visit 800 to 1200 year old shrines and palaces. Good, great in fact.
