Spring 2024 Special Exhibits and More!

This update focuses on four special exhibits held in the spring of 2024. Along the way I added some other photos and renewed profiles so see below for details.
Himeji Castle
First we have the West Small Keep of Himeji Castle. It was the first time it was ever opened to the public. Along with this I renewed the kokuin album with new photos (not in the rain) and some new kokuin not shown before too.
Hikone Castle
Next is the Sawaguchi Tamon Yagura from Hikone Castle. This was opened for visitors while the main keep underwent repairs. It was one of the most impressive yagura interiors I've seen and should be opened more often. It was not very crowded so I could take some good video of this yagura and the other original structures, excluding the main keep.
Osaka Castle
The Tamon Yagura and Sengan Yagura are frequently opened to visitors, but this is the first time that the Inui Yagura has been open to the public since 2015. The Inui Yagura album is new but I added some photos to the albums for the other two and created a short video of all three as well.
Akashi Castle
The Special Exhibit of the Tatsumi Yagura may not be so special anymore since they do it every spring, but it was my first viist and allowed me to complete this profile which previously only had photos of the interior of the Hitsujisaru Yagura from my first trip there. Since it had been a few years since that trip I also took the liberty of renewing all the photos for this castle and adding a kokuin album. Click through to Akashi Castle for all the details. Another key reason to visit Akashi Castle was to see the gate at Gesshoji Temple, originally from Fushimi Castle, so I could add it to my Fushimi Castle Relocated Structures page too.
With special exhibits and some other activities this spring it's no wonder I didn't get to many new castles yet in 2024! I think the next update will cover the renewal of some other castle profiles before I can start on completely new castle visits.
