[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.

I got this gift from my sister from my birthday last year. It took awhile for me to build it. The detail and design of this castle is very impressive. I was in Japan back in 2024 and had plans to see the Himeji but got too busy. On my Next trip I will definitely include it.

Unbelievable for this set, there are over 5 pieces missing. Never happened on other Lego set.

Love this and receive so many wonderful comments. Very fun building

The build is a really fun one with a lot of little hidden bits so far. The details are crazy. But... I'd love to be able to finish this build. In bag 2, I was missing a piece, but luckily it was a really common piece and I had a spare from another set. Everything was going great until bag 8... missing another piece. And this one is not only integral to the structure, but it's one I definitely don't have a spare of. I've put in a request for a replacement brick, but they are apparently really backed up, because it's been almost 3 months since they said it was ready to ship. I'm just really hoping the 9 bags I have left to go don't have anything missing, or I'll have to wait even longer. I've done about a dozen builds in 2025 so far, from poly-bags to over 1300 piece builds, and this is the first with missing pieces. It's the biggest and most expensive one, so I am really bummed about it.
