    Kumano-Nachi Taisha
    It's completely oriental looking, and the surroundings with the waterfall looks lovely

    I know I should vote Mt Fuji, but Himeji Castle is spectacular, and nicely Japanese. So that gets my vote.

    The church looks the best to me, but I can't bring myself to vote for a church so i'll go with Old Town. Because I can see myself sitting there, watching the locals going about their day

    Salapils Memorial

    A memorial for prisoners who were kept at the Labour camp, sobering place but I like it as it appeals to my communist statue/brutalist architecture fascination

    And the black head house place is a rebuild

    The old town. Those old towns in Eastern Europe are usually gorgeous and very well preserved - I'm assuming this is the case here since someone saw fit to nominate it!

    The view from the pass leading into the Valley is spectacular. I think that's worth my vote over the castle.

    Steg Valley looks nice. Plenty of nicer castles than that around Europe so the valley gets my vote.

    I would be one that would normally 99.9% of the time choose the castle but that Valley is just spectacular.
