姫路城位于日本兵库县姬路市，通称为白鹭城。和熊本城、松本城合称日本三大名城；和松山城、和歌山城合称日本三大连立式平山城。由于其保存度高，被称为“日本第一名城”。位于姬路市中心，为本市主体象征。由于城外看起来又白又美，有很多时代剧和电影也在这里进行拍摄。
　　姬路城是日本的一座城堡。它最初建于14世纪，之后又在16世纪和17世纪间被黑田孝高与池田辉政进行了大规模的修复和扩建。姬路城是个高大的、木石混筑的多层建筑，外墙被漆成白色，并带有一系列精雕细琢的屋檐，犹如展翅欲飞的白鹭，这也是为什么它也被称为“白鹭城”的缘故。姬路城的中心为“天守阁”，周围是由迷宫般的小道组成的城墙，这些城墙和城门的布置方式会迫使攻击者不得不在城下绕来绕去，还带着陷入死胡同的危险。这样防守者就可以很轻易的集中火力消灭侵入者的先锋部队。实际上这个精巧的设计从未被检验过——因为整个中世纪这座城堡都未曾受到过攻击。
　　二次世界大战期间，这里的周围遭到盟军猛烈的轰炸，但神奇的是姬路城本身没有受到损伤。现在的姬路城正在接受一次大的翻修，它一直是日本最为著名的旅游景点之一。
