How well do you really know the White Heron? This quiz covers Himeji Castle from its defensive design — the maze of gates, the openings cut into its walls, the long corridor of the Nishinomaru — to the white plaster finish and World Heritage standing of the main keep. Then it steps outside the walls: Engyoji temple on Mount Shosha, the Ichikawa river crossing the city, the summer Yukata Festival, and Himeji oden eaten with ginger soy sauce. The ranks climb from common knowledge to questions that reward a slow walk through the castle grounds. The daily challenge question shows you how the quiz is angled before you commit.
