Nagoya Castle | Travel Through Time and Encounter the Sengoku Period of Japan

| Travel through time and encounter the Sengoku period of Japan. 🌟Highlights: Nagoya Castle, along with Osaka Castle and Kumamoto Castle, are known as the three most famous castles in Japan. The top is guarded by a pair of golden Shachi (mythical carp with the head of a tiger) symbolizing Nagoya. If you are a fan of Sengoku history, you must visit this castle, the hereditary residence of three generations of the Tokugawa family, and overlook the city from the shogun's perspective. Over 2,000 cherry blossom trees are planted in the castle. During the blooming season, the entire castle is enveloped in pink smoke, making it exceptionally beautiful. ✅Honmaru Palace: Restored and opened to the public in 2018, the interior is decorated with many artistic gold foil paintings, showcasing the living space of the feudal lords during the Edo period. ✅Golden Shachi Statues: The golden Shachi on top of Nagoya Castle's main keep are a symbol of the castle, exquisitely crafted and magnificent. ⏳Visiting Time: Spring (March-May) is ideal for cherry blossom viewing, where ancient architecture and cherry blossoms complement each other. Autumn (September-November) has many festivals and rituals, offering a taste of traditional Japanese culture. 👍Most Recommended Performance: Watch the samurai and ninja team performances. The NPCs, dressed in Sengoku-era armor, perform humorous skits and are available for interactive photos. 📍Detailed Address: 1-1 Honmaru, Naka Ward, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan 🚉Transportation: From Nagoya Station, take the subway to "Shiyakusho" Station or "Meijo Line" Station.
