Himeji Castle, JapanThis is one of Japan's most visited destinations and was also featured in the Sean Connery-starrer You Only Live Twice. It dates all the way back to 1333 but was remodelled in the late 16th century. What makes it so deliciously 'visitable' however is its rich history. This sprawling castle surrounded by three moats actually survived a heavy bombing during WW II. It's an incredible representation of feudal Japanese architecture with advanced defensive systems, all located atop of a beautiful, serene hill. There are few places more interesting than this one on our list, that's for sure.
