Must visit when traveling to Nagoya
Japan is fantastic for low cost educational children's activities. When visiting Japan one must visit Nagoya, more specifically Nagoya Castle
Nagoya castle and palace is another great example of that. Sadly the original palace burnt down during WWII, however the replica was constructed and is stunning.
The castle is an architectural masterpiece. A truly impressive experience

Must visit place in Nagoya - Nagoya Castle
I went to Nagoya Castle during the blooming of sakura and it was so beautiful. However the main tower is closed for renovation. Despite that, there are so many other things to explore around the castle.
The high walls and the buildings structure of the castle are well preserved and maintained. There are also beautiful parks and gardens within the compound. Overall a must visit when you are in Nagoya.
The admission fee was 500 yen for one adult during my visit in April 2023.

Nagoya Castle
Nagoya Castle was completed in 1615 by the Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu. Topped with golden shachihoko, votive tiger-fish roof devices, and boasting the largest floorspace of any tower keep, Nagoya Castle and its magnificent Hommaru Palace were operated as a military facility. Nagoya Castle was Japan’s first castle to be designated a National Treasure. Even after wartime air raid destruction, it was deemed historically important enough to be designated a National Historic Site. Restoration work being carried out is returning Nagoya Castle to original condition.Most castle buildings were destroyed in the air raids of 1945, including the castle keep and the palace buildings. The current ferro-concrete reconstruction of the castle keep dates from 1959 and - before its closure in May 2018 - contained a modern museum with exhibits about the castle's history. The park surrounding the castle keep features two circles of moats and impressive walls with corner turrets. It becomes an attractive hanami spot during the cherry blossom season which usually peaks in late March or early April.

#awesomepic In 1610 Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the construction of Nagoya-jo to solidify the Tokugawa authority in Owari (Nagoya and vicinity). The castle was completed in 1612 and Tokugawa's ninth son Yoshinao entered the castle in 1616 from which he governed over Owari. #awesomepic

This is my memory when visiting Nagoya Castle. A clean and full of historical value. Outside the palace also often held performances, telling stories about the golden age of the kingdom. All the palaces are located in a high place and from one of the palace windows we can see the vast city of Nagoya. Inside many ancient items and also high-value sculptures.
If you enter, don't forget to obey every regulation, for example there is a certain place that is not allowed to take photos.

The walk from Nagoya station was about 40 minutes. The entrance fee was 1000 yen for each adult. We reached at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon and it was not very crowded. There were tour groups who were arriving at the castle. The main castle tower was out of bounds so we went to the gardens and other parts of the castle grounds. There were vending machines all over and few stalls selling ice cream and souvenirs. A little further down, there is a row of shops selling more food. A great place and a must see in Nagoya! We followed the guide to seek out the historic and scenic spots in the castle. There are three corner towers and one can go up the towers. The best of these is the north west corner tower where one can see the water in the moat. Then one must also look at the main tower and its annex. We admired the golden shachi.at the roof. Due to restoration work, one cannot the main tower. Really disappointed. Then there is the Ninomaru garden to visit . Nice Japanese landscape garden. There is also a tea house in the garden. Then one must then proceed to visit the amazing Hommaru Palace. When we visited, there were many beautiful flowers on display. Amazing, beautiful and colorful !

Nagoya City is associated with Osaka Castle, and Kumamoto Castle is collectively known as "the three most famous cities in Japan." Nagoya Castle was built in 1612 by Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was destroyed by the Second World War and the surviving buildings were restored in 1959. The biggest feature of Nagoya City belongs to his more than 2,000 cherry trees.
Among them, the Tianshou Pavilion is the place where the Tokugawa family lived. It is accessible from the avenue on the right side of the main entrance. This is a five-story building with two sides of the roof and the female body of a golden animal head. . The interior of the castle tower has been renovated and its wooden structure has been unreserved and an elevator has been added. The museums set up in the castle tower show artifacts such as door paintings and weapons.
The current castle tower is a reinforced concrete structure that was rebuilt as a symbol of Nagoya after World War II. After half a century of baptism, the aging and earthquake resistance of the castle tower has once again become a problem. In order to solve this problem and let the world better understand the true value of Nagoya Castle as a special historical relic, Nagoya Castle Tower is carrying out the restoration of wooden structures.

Nagoya Castle
When I visited Nagoya Castle in Japan, I felt as if I had traveled back in time. The castle features traditional Japanese architecture surrounded by beautiful gardens that offer a serene atmosphere. As I wandered between the castle walls, I contemplated the historical details that reflect the region's power and cultural richness. The main tower of the castle provides a magnificent view of the city, adding a meditative touch to the experience. I loved the harmony of history and nature and the prevailing tranquility of the place, making you feel like you are living a part of Japan's rich heritage. It was an unforgettable visit filled with history and beauty.

Nagoya Castle is an iconic landmark in Nagoya, Japan, and visiting it was truly a highlight of our trip! The historic grounds are steeped in history, and we were captivated by the beautifully reconstructed Honmaru Palace. The attention to detail in the restoration is impressive, and the palace offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the Edo period. We were also fortunate to catch a live-action Samurai show, which brought the rich history of the castle to life.

A National Treasure
Regarded amoongst the best catsles in Japan. Nagoya castle is a beautiful reconstructed castle that gives a glimpse of the grandeur from the edo period. I paid 500 yen for the entrance. To tell you a bit more about what i read for the visit. Most of the castle buildings were destroyed in the second world war air raids, including the castle keep and palace buildings.
The current reinforced construction of the castle dates from 1959 and before it closed in May 2018, housed a modern museum with exhibits on the castle's history. The park surrounding the castle features two circular moats and impressive walls with corner turrets. It becomes a popular hanami spot during cherry blossom season, which usually peaks in late March or early April. The castle is an architectural master piece. One of the best experiences in Japan.
