I visited the Himeji Castle this summer. It was raining profusely but that didn’t stop how majestic the experience was for me. Building the set after seeing it in person was truly special. The small details of including the purple alter and other significant historical relics was really cool. Great set.
I’ve been building this for a few days now and Every-time I build it, it starts to crumble in my hands, because of the base of the structure keeps falling apart or popping off. I try and build and it crumbles I give it a few days and it crumbles again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set is pretty fun to build when it it’s crumbling in your hand cause the contraption of makeshift baseplates to support this thing is beyond abysmal. Had this set straight fall apart in my hand multiple times while building the blocks don’t even click into each other properly
My wife and I visited Hemiji last April and since then I knew I had to get this set. It’s incredible the level of detail in this set and it’s awesome being able to retrace our steps and see some of the exact paths we walked.
