Great product!

I gave the Lego architecture gift to my granddaughter. She is 12 years old and did an amazing job of putting this project together.

Great item and architecturally correct. The details are very well done. Looks great with my Japanese decor and went together without any issues..

It's a beautiful piece. Some of the pieces don't fit well so you will need to have extra pieces or work around it

Really love the size and details like the path around the castle. I would've hoped to include more of cherry blossoms trees though

Wonderful price, great value for this architecture Lego. Great as a gift for adults.

Easy fun build! So many small details.

Himeji Castle to me is a classic "trust the process" in live time when building it. My skepticism while making the set slowly evaporating as the courtyard, walkways, and the castle atop the hill began to take shape. I'm truly appreciative of Lego stretching out their Japanese architectural bits you get a glimpse of in the Ninjago sets into pieces like this as well as the Tranquil Garden set. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you're fond of Japanese and general Asian architecture. Fantastic display piece, and little things like swappable cherry blossom trees is a nice added touch.

This spring, I toured Himeji Castle and climbed the passages to visit each floor. When I saw this set it was a must have. I usually build sets with my grandkids (9 and 5). I was in no hurry to complete the set and that was a good thing because there were several missing pieces. Waiting for the pieces slowed the process, but I wasn't in a hurry. Lego support has sent the missing bricks and I have the large Architectural kit that I could "borrow" some of the pieces to complete the build. In the castle, there is a narrow passage that has a wall designed to collapse by pulling the "Keystone" brick. Now that would be an amazing add to this set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: The building experience for this set is so enriching. Using a great deal smaller pieces, pieces you would never have suspected, to create such a beautiful model. The designers of this set are geniuses and I hope they are the go to for all future Architecture projects. Nothing felt repetitive. I got excited with each next step. The numbering of the bags is perfect for someone that might have a smaller workspace (17 in all). This was just an absolutely amazing set and I highly recommend it. Cons: Pieces for a second Sakura tree would've been great, also more flora as a whole for the grounds could've really gone far, but all in all, it's beautiful.
