You are taking requests? By any chance, you you have any photos of Gifu Castle? Or Honno-ji Temple? I'd like to see more shots of those. The web pretty much only has so many pictures, and I'd like to see some different angles.
Thanx in advance!

Sorry, but I never visited either of those places. I did visit several other castles, and TONS of different temples, though. Here are some pictures of 2 of my favorite castles:
Matsumoto Castle:
Castles are usually filled with weapons, armor, and the history of the castle. Also, castles usually have the crescent-shaped carp on the roofs to ward away evil spirits, as you can see in 1 photo here. Matsumoto Castle was surrounded by a moat filled with carp, and some beautiful gardens, and it had a lot of interesting artifacts inside, even a cannon!
And of course, the famous Himeji Castle, renowned as one of the best in all of Japan:
I can scan in some pictures of temples next, if you'd like. Nara had some of the most impressive statues...
