Inuyama Castle, located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, is an ancient castle with over 400 years of history, known as one of the oldest surviving castles in Japan. Perched on the banks of the Kiso River and built on a hill, the castle offers a commanding view of the surrounding scenery. In winter, when snow blankets its ancient rooftops and stone walls, Inuyama Castle resembles a serene landscape painting, showcasing the unique charm of this historic site. Historical Legacy Inuyama Castle was built in 1537 by Oda Nobuyasu, the uncle of Oda Nobunaga. The castle has withstood numerous battles during the Sengoku period and remains one of the 12 original castles still standing in Japan. The castle keep is a wooden structure that retains its original design and construction, earning it the designation of an Important Cultural Property and being listed as a National Treasure in 1984. Visiting Inuyama Castle in winter, the sense of history is even more profound against the backdrop of snow. Stepping inside the castle, one can almost hear the drums of past battles and imagine the samurai who once defended their homeland here. The Winter Beauty of Inuyama Castle Inuyama Castle in winter has a special allure. The black rooftops stand out strikingly against the white snow, and the ancient stone walls and wooden structures complement the icy landscape, highlighting the castle's resilience and elegance. As you ascend the winding paths of the castle, the mist and snowflakes intertwine, seemingly guiding visitors into a tranquil time and space. From the top of the castle keep, you can overlook the entire Inuyama Castle town and the magnificent scenery of the Kiso River. The winter tranquility inspires awe. The snowy riverbanks and distant mountains create a picturesque scene that is hard to leave. Especially at sunset, the snow and the ancient castle glow with a golden hue under the slanting rays, as if the entire world is reduced to this solitary ancient castle, quietly guarding the memories of the past.

#NagoyaTravel I came to Inuyama Castle in Nagoya. It was the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. The whole castle was surrounded by white cherry blossoms. The breeze blew gently, and the petals fluttered in the air, as if welcoming every visitor. Climb up the trail to Inuyama Castle and enjoy the magnificent scenery along the way. While taking photos, I felt the historical atmosphere of the ancient city. When I reached the top of the castle and looked down at the surrounding mountains and rivers, I couldn't help but feel shocked. Inside the castle, I visited many precious artifacts and learned about Japanese historical stories from texts. This trip not only allowed me to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also allowed me to feel the profound history and cultural heritage of Japan.

In May, I visited Inuyama Castle, a national treasure in Aichi. Honestly, I was shocked. Personally, I would recommend visiting this place over Nagoya Castle. The castle town is very beautiful, and when I walked up the steep stairs to the castle tower, I was surprised to see such a beautiful view. I think the stairs are difficult for people with weak legs, but it is worth the effort. If you use a selfie stick or a GoPro to take pictures, you will be able to create even better memories. It was a tourist spot that I would recommend. #InuyamaCastle

#SummerWeekendTrip I went to Inuyama Castle for a walk!! It was my first time entering Inuyama Castle, and what surprised me was how steep the stairs were! 😂 I had to climb them as hard as I could😂 For lunch, I went to a nearby Maiko Sushi restaurant and had sushi that fit in my hand and three types of sake🤤 I wonder why sushi and sake go so well together🤤 Please take a stroll around Inuyama Castle Town🥰 #TourismSupport #SummerShortTrip #Trip2022 #Gourmet #HistoricalSites #GourmetTrip #GourmetFood #WesternJapan #GourmetTrip #Inuyama #InuyamaCastle

Inuyama Castle, a national treasure in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture Lonboo Atsushi, who loves castles, has said that Inuyama Castle is his "favorite castle!" and is serving as an Inuyama tourism ambassador. I personally like the view from the castle tower. And, along with Inuyama Castle, I recommend visiting Sanko Inari Shrine, with its cute heart-shaped votive plaques, as shown in the first photo. It's a recommended spot for Instagram. Address: 65-2 Kitakoken, Inuyama Oaza, Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture #Shrine #Retro townscape

Inuyama Castle in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, is a highly attractive tourist spot that can be enjoyed in many ways!

Inuyama Castle is located in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture. Across the river in the photo is Gifu Prefecture, so it's a luxurious place where you can see both Aichi Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture🌱 It doesn't fit in the photo, but the view is great and you can see the Twin Tower Hotel directly above Nagoya Station🥺 Recent castles have elevators and are quite modern, but this castle has wooden stairs and other things, so the inside of the castle itself exudes the Sengoku period🥰 On the way up the castle tower, there are exhibits about the successive castle lords and the history of Inuyama, which is very interesting🌸 When I visited, there were restrictions on where you could go at the top of the castle tower due to strong winds. I couldn't see the Gifu side from the front... So it's better to be careful of the weather when you go! #InuyamaCastle #InuyamaCity #AichiPrefecture #Castles #JapaneseCastles #HistoricalSites #History #JapaneseHistory #SengokuPeriod

#cityplaybook #localguides #postandearn #cityplaybook Inuyama may not be the first name that comes to mind when planning a trip to Japan, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. Tucked away in Aichi Prefecture, just under an hour from Nagoya, this castle town offered me a slice of traditional Japan without the crowds—and with an atmosphere that lingers long after you leave. The crown jewel of my visit was undoubtedly Inuyama Castle—one of Japan’s oldest surviving original castles, dating back to 1537. Perched on a hill overlooking the Kiso River, the castle may seem modest compared to others, but once I climbed to the top floor and stepped out onto the wooden balcony, the panoramic views took my breath away. The feeling of standing inside a real feudal relic, with creaking floors and ancient timber, made the experience incredibly raw and immersive. I wandered through Inuyama Castle Town, a delightful stretch of Edo-period architecture now filled with artisan shops, street snacks, and cafes. I tried Gohei-mochi (grilled rice cake with a sweet soy sauce glaze)—simple, but addictive. Every storefront had its own story, from handmade ceramics to vintage toys. Another surprising highlight was Meiji Mura, an open-air museum showcasing over 60 preserved buildings from Japan’s Meiji Era, including a piece of the old Tokyo Imperial Hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Walking through this village felt like time travel—blending East and West in a way I hadn’t expected. Best Time to Visit: Spring (late March to April) for cherry blossoms framing the castle and riverside walks. Autumn (late October to November) for crisp air and vibrant fall foliage. Travel Tips: Wear shoes easy to slip off—many historical buildings require it. Don’t miss the river cruise (especially in summer for the Ukai cormorant fishing demonstration). Combine your trip with nearby Gifu or Nagoya for a perfect weekend escape. Location: Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, Japan #InuyamaCastle #HiddenJapan #InuyamaOldTown #MeijiMura #KisoRiverViews #HistoricJapan #UndiscoveredJapan #AichiAdventures #JapanCastleTowns #InuyamaMagic Inuyama is like stepping into the pages of a living history book—charming, unhurried, and quietly unforgettable. It's a place where every path leads to a story worth hearing.

#springitinerary Inuyama Castle is one of those places that totally sneaks up on you. It’s not as crowded as some of the bigger castles, but it’s got so much charm. Perched on a hill above the Kiso River, the view from the top is epic, especially at sunset when the whole town below starts to glow. The castle itself is Japan’s oldest surviving wooden castle tower, so it’s got this authentic, old-school vibe that you don’t always get at more polished tourist spots. Inside, you can check out the original wooden beams and narrow staircases, which give you a real feel for what life must’ve been like back in the day. The surrounding area is pretty chill too, with temples and nice walking paths. If you’re in the Aichi area and want a more peaceful, less touristy castle experience, Inuyama Castle is totally worth the visit. It’s simple but stunning.

Inuyama Castle is one of the five existing national treasures in Japan. It is located on a small hill beside the Kiso River and has a history of nearly 500 years. This visit was on a comfortable day and the overall experience was very pleasant. Starting from Meitetsu Inuyama-Yuen Station, it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk along the river bank to arrive. The scenery along the way is beautiful, especially in spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The castle and the pink sea of ​​flowers complement each other, which makes people feel good. Climbing up the small slope into the city, feeling the breeze on your face and basking in the warm sunshine, you will feel particularly comfortable. Although the stairs to Inuyama Castle Tower are relatively steep, once you reach the top floor, you can overlook the Kiso River, distant mountains and the castle town in 360 degrees. The scenery is magnificent, especially in comfortable weather, the vast field of vision will make you linger. There are many historical relics on display in the city, allowing people to feel the strong historical atmosphere. After leaving the city, you can also stroll through the old streets of the castle town, taste local snacks, visit specialty shops, or pay homage to the nearby Haritsuna Shrine and Sanko Inari Shrine and enjoy a leisurely stroll. Combining history, nature and beautiful scenery, visiting in comfortable weather will make people feel physically and mentally happy, whether it is climbing up to see the distance, taking photos or strolling through the old streets. It is a highly recommended travel experience.

#Travel guide #Japan travel #Shrine #Castle #Temple #Jingu Travel knowledge that is more fun when you know it While traveling in Japan, I often come across places that look similar but have completely different roles and meanings, so I compared them and wrote them down!! 1. Shrine A place of worship for Shinto, Japan's unique religion, where various gods are enshrined! Features include torii (red gate), purification water, ema (wish cards), and amulets, Representative places include Fushimi Inari Shrine (Kyoto) and Meiji Shrine (Tokyo)! 2. Shrine This is a term used to refer to shrines with particularly high status and status among shrines! It has the characteristic of enshrining gods who are deeply related to the Japanese imperial family, and it has many large and historically important places! 3. Temple A temple for Buddhist practice and worship, where Buddha and various Bodhisattvas are enshrined. Characteristics include pagodas, Buddhist statues, incense burners, monks, and sutras! Representative temples include Kiyomizu-dera (Kyoto) and Senso-ji (Tokyo). 4. Castles In the past, samurai lived here and were fortresses for warfare, and were political and military strongholds and symbols of regional rule. Characteristics include the main tower, moat, stone walls, and castle gates. Representative locations include Himeji Castle, Nagoya Castle, and Osaka Castle. Travel tips! When visiting a shrine/shrine: Bow in front of the torii, wash your hands, bow twice, and clap once When visiting a temple: Burn incense and maintain a quiet atmosphere When visiting a castle: Enjoy historical exhibitions, observation decks, and uniform experience corners If you understand these four locations, your trip to Japan will be more interesting and profound.

#TravelGuide #JapanTravel #JapaneseCastle #NagoyaCastle #OsakaCastle There are many beautiful castles throughout Japan, and some of them are beloved tourist attractions with their history! 1. The charm of Japanese castles - Most of them are historical buildings built during the Edo period - You can get a glimpse of samurai culture, Japanese medieval politics, and military structures - You can also enjoy gardens, museums, and cherry blossom spots around the castle 2. Japan's three major castles - Osaka Castle \ Nagoya Castle ) Famous for its gold-decorated Shachihoko (tiger's tail fish) \ Kumamoto Castle ) Famous for its impregnable structure. Many tourists visit even during restoration ※ I personally visited Osaka Castle and Nagoya Castle, and their scale and atmosphere were truly impressive! 3. Travel Tips - Recommended visits during cherry blossom season (March-April) and autumn foliage season (October-November) - Check seasonal events such as samurai processions and castle festivals in advance - Each castle has different admission fees and whether or not it is possible to see the inside, so be sure to check in advance! A castle tour is a precious opportunity to experience Japanese tradition and aesthetics with your whole body, beyond simple sightseeing. Be sure to add Himeji Castle or Matsumoto Castle to your list for your next trip!

The cherry blossom season in Nagoya typically lasts from late March to mid-April, making it the perfect time to enjoy the blooms. Here are itinerary suggestions for different durations: One-Day Trip Start your morning at Nagoya Castle, where 600 Yoshino cherry trees bloom along the ancient castle walls. Early mornings are less crowded, allowing for great photo opportunities. At noon, head to Tsuruma Park to enjoy lunch amidst European-style fountains and Japanese gardens. The evening light show is also spectacular. In the late afternoon, visit Yamazaki River, where a 2.8-kilometer cherry blossom tunnel along the riverbank offers stunning illuminated night views. Two-Day Trip Day 1: Explore Nagoya Castle to experience the blend of history and cherry blossoms. In the afternoon, visit the Agricultural Culture Park, which features 1,000 cherry trees of various species, ensuring a bloom period that lasts up to two months. Day 2: Head to Inuyama Castle, surrounded by 800 Yoshino cherry trees, and then to Okazaki Castle, where you can take a hanami boat ride to enjoy the blossoms. Before heading out, be sure to check the cherry blossom forecast, prepare comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and other essentials. Don’t miss the chance to try local delicacies like cherry blossom bento and sakura shrimp tempura.

#TravelGuide #JapanTravel #NagoyaTravel Nagoya is a city located in Aichi Prefecture in central Japan, where tradition and modernity coexist. Representative tourist attractions include Nagoya Castle with a golden Shachihoko, Hitsumabushi, famous for its eel rice bowl, and Misokatsu, which is topped with miso sauce. You can enjoy vintage shopping and street food in the Osu Shopping District, and Atsuta Shrine and Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology are also worth visiting. Transportation is convenient because the Nagoya Subway, Meitetsu Line, and JR Line are well connected, and you can travel economically if you use the Nagoya City Free Pass. It takes about 30 minutes to get from the airport to Nagoya Station by taking the Miusukai (μ Sky). The Nagoya Station, Sakae, and Kanayama areas are popular for accommodation, and each area has different transportation and atmosphere, so you can choose according to your travel style. Things to keep in mind when traveling to Nagoya: miso cuisine is strong, so it may not suit your taste, and tourist spots usually close around 4-5 p.m., so keep that in mind when planning your itinerary. Nagoya people are quiet and reserved, so if you talk as lively as you would in Osaka, you may feel a little unfamiliar, and some restaurants and traditional shops still only accept cash, so it's a good idea to prepare some cash. Also, although Meitetsu and JR lines are located at Nagoya Station, the platforms are complicatedly connected, so it's essential to use a map app to avoid getting on the wrong way.

It only takes about 30 minutes by train from Nagoya to the historic city of Inuyama, which retains a strong Edo style and elegant natural scenery. It is a town suitable for a leisurely day trip. Morning National Treasure Inuyama Castle＋ The first stop is of course Inuyama Castle! This is one of the oldest surviving wooden castle towers in Japan, having been passed down from the Warring States Period to the present day. Climb up the castle tower and overlook the Kiso River and the distant mountains. Surrounded by cherry blossoms in spring, it is as beautiful as a painting. Then go to Sanko Inari Shrine and Harizuna Shrine to pray. Both shrines are next to Inuyama Castle. The pink torii tunnel at Sanko Inari Shrine is super dreamy and is a popular spot for couples to pray for a good marriage. If you are tired, you may want to take a break in a nearby teahouse and drink a bowl of matcha with Japanese snacks. Afternoon Food Tour of Inuyama Castle Town and Stroll Along the Kiso River The old castle town street retains the Edo-style machiya buildings and has now been transformed into a gathering place for specialty snacks and cultural and creative shops. We recommend trying the grilled dumplings, gohei mochi, fried skewers, and the "love apple candy" that's so cute you won't want to eat it! This is also a good place to take photos and check in, and many people will rent a kimono to experience it. After entering the city, you can take a walk along the riverside and feel the tranquil atmosphere where nature and history are intertwined. If you have enough time, you can also choose to extend your trip to the Meiji Village Museum or Inuyama Cultural Museum to continue exploring the Meiji style and local culture.

When you walk from the station, you will first arrive at Sanko Inari Shrine. Located at the foot of Inuyama Castle in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, Sanko Inari Shrine is a historic and popular shrine that attracts many tourists with its unique red torii and blessing culture. Sanko Inari Shrine provides pink heart-shaped ema, allowing believers to write down their wishes and hang them on the wall. It is especially popular among women who pray for love. There is a "money washing pool" in the area, where believers can use bamboo baskets to wash coins or banknotes, symbolizing the purification of wealth and praying for the smooth circulation of money. We even brought Taiwanese dollars to be washed, hoping that the money could be turned into more. Next, we will walk up to Inuyama Castle, a castle with important historical and cultural value, known as one of the oldest existing wooden castle towers in Japan. Inuyama Castle was built in 1537 by Oda Nobuyasu, the uncle of Oda Nobunaga, and was rebuilt several times during the Edo period. Climbing to the top of the castle tower, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the Kiso River, Mount Ontake, and even the city of Nagoya in the distance. But this place is not very suitable for young children, because the stairs to climb up to the castle tower are very steep and narrow, and it is dangerous for young children to go up and down the stairs. It is not recommended to bring very young children to the top floor of the castle tower. But you can still bring your children here to visit the Inuyama Castle Town Shopping Street. There are various shops along the way, including restaurants, cafes, snack stands, souvenir shops... and so on. Children will be very happy to eat strawberry ice cream. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#NagoyaSakura 🌸 The whole of Nagoya is covered with cherry blossoms in full bloom. There are many varieties of cherry blossoms. Due to the different varieties, there are some differences in the time of blooming, resulting in pink, white, peach and white-pink cherry blossoms (such as Okanzakura and Weeping Cherry) or the double-leafed cherry blossoms with green leaves and some cherry blossoms that have not yet bloomed intertwined, creating a very beautiful landscape. In addition, the weather is really good, and there is occasional rain of cherry blossom petals. The faint fragrance coming towards you and the petals falling on your body make you feel very romantic. In this season, Nagoya not only has flowers to enjoy, but also many festivals to attend and markets to eat. Compared with Tokyo or Osaka, there are fewer people, so it is relatively relaxing whether traveling or dining.
