Faulty Lego Piece
Very beautiful and fun to build! However, one of the pieces in the set looked like it didn’t finish being created. It ended up not being a big deal but for how much it costs I was a little disappointed.

Most fun lego building experience I've had
Building Himeji Castle is hands-down the most fun I've had building a lego set. By the end of every bag you finish a new part of the castle so there's a constant sense of progress. The attention to detail is astonishing. It's a great value for it's money so if you're considering getting this set I wouldn't wait!

Very Cool, Enjoyable Set
I bought this set from someone, and even though it took me several hours to build, it was a lot of fun! It was complex enough to keep me entertained, and I especially liked the little tidbits of information about the castle sprinkled throughout the Instruction Packet. And as a fan of Japan and Japanese culture, it was really neat to be able to build a landmark of such historical and cultural significance! Would DEFINITELY recommend this set for anyone who especially likes models of monuments and buildings!

Exquisite building set to keep the travel memory
Had a very enjoyable day with this new architectural model of Himeji Castle. I was lucky enough to visit 姫路城 back in 2019. A magnificent set, kids are absolutely enthralled by it too, so it’s a perfect family activity. Though I wish Lego had included the shachihoko(鯱鉾) which are those ancient mythical creatures that decorate the roof of the castle.

Be mindful of misprints in instruction booklet
I enjoyed building this set, but my instruction booklet is missing nearly 20 pages of steps when I finished up bag 8. Instead of moving on to bag 9, it just repeated previous steps. Not sure if it's just my bad luck, but mindful of this if you like to collect the instruction booklets.

New Architecture building
I was excited to purchase this set. I had been waiting for a true piece of architecture to build. I was not disappointed. My only issue was that I found it difficult to see where some pieces went and to get some to stay in place. I found the new pieces a little harder to follow. The finished product was an excellent addition to my collection.

Favorite build!
LOVED this build! Lots of great techniques for micro builds (of buildings) that make it super-interesting. If you like Easter eggs in your builds, this kit has loads of them; all kinds of interior details that only the builder will know are there. And it looks spectacular when finished. Well done, Lego design team!

Could be great if not missing whole bag sets
Bought this item asa show piece for me at work. Unpack and find while missing bag sets. Having to wait for Lego to send the missing parts. If I ever get to finish this set I may change my review.

Make more castle inspired buildings in the future!
My partner gifted me the Himeji Castle as well as the Taj Mahal lego sets for Christmas and wow they are amazing. They are worth the price with how many lego pieces they come in. I want Lego to start having more Lego themed buildings like this one.

Incredible Details
The details are incredible. Details you may never see again after you build it. I started building again after a 25 year hiatus and this is fantastic, reminds me why I loved building castles and cities with Lego as a kid.

Fairly simple build with a few twists. Liked reading alternate sources regarding the history of the castle. Architecture of the castle also gives the builder a little more to the imagination of how it was built and why.

Loving it
I buy these to build at work with my co-workers. We each grab a bag or two and go crazy. One co-worker adores this design and it won the random drawing I do, so it'll decorate his cube when we're all done.

So cool! one of the best I've ever built
I really loved this build, It's detailed in using so many small pieces to form a wall or secret room. So much symmetry even in the places no one will ever see again. I really loved putting it together.

Fun and intricate build
Great build! A lot of fine detail, and the build varies from element to element. Many of the architecture builds are repetitive, this one is not. The final product is beautiful.

Haven't built it yet but looking forward to doing so with my husband. He's sometimes helped me build other kits & just watches me have fun. Bonding experience. LOL

Great Build
I always enjoy building the architecture and expert creator kits. They make great pieces to exhibit in your home and rotate out. My office is full of builds.

Stunning work of art
I think it’s a stunning work of art to show off! I love building the architecture ones because it teaches you some interesting stuff while you work on it.

Great detail
This castle has a lot of little details that even though they may not be able to be seen after it is built is still a lot of fun knowing they are there
