Photo sorting. A lot of Showa era scenery that is no longer there.
The first picture shows the bride's procession and the second picture shows the carrying of the mikoshi by the boys of the baseball team.

A few weeks ago I went to Himeji armed with a history book. Within its bilingual pages was a map of the city from the 1800s showing how it probably was laid out at the end of the 1700s.
I spent a while with the map (see below), walking the streets and working out what was what. The modern map aligns reasonably well with this drawn one, and it is possible to see where plots of land have merged and how part of the moat has been taken over by a road.
A whole island has been lost after being infilled and now serves as a zoo, and large parts of the outer moat have been lost under roads.
If I'm right, the three temples in the photos are the purple blocks on the right hand side of the map. Much of the road layout around them looks intact too. Where it has been lost there appear to be echoes of it in shortened side roads and property boundaries.
I'll head back there in a month or three and take another look. The area on the backside of the castle from the station looks interesting. It's now a library and driving school (I think).
If you're interested in Japanese Castles and how they are laid out and evolved, The Castles and Castle Towns of Japan by HIRAI Kiyosi and translated by Watanabe Hiroshi is my source. It's a bilingual book that's part of a series covering different aspects of Japanese architecture.
(I posted a version of this on my blog)
