Nagoya Castle Photos: Trip Moments
Must visit place in Nagoya - Nagoya CastleI 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.KLHMtravel33

Nagoya CastleNagoya 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. #nyedestinations #christmaslights #christmasgiveaway #unforgettableexperiencesnalsaaa43

#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. #awesomepicBobchan19

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. #givethankseDoctor48

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 ! #givethanks #givethanksCollegiala01520
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.Vickyqin.6

Otsu Bridge outside Nagoya CastleAfter leaving Nagoya Castle, walk all the way to the Sotobori-dori where there is a large stone bridge from the Showa era called Otsu Bridge. The Sotobori is the outermost moat of the ancient Nagoya Castle, which was originally supposed to be a wooden bridge. The sign on the bridge records that it was rebuilt in the 42nd year of Showa, which is 1967, with a complete stone construction, and the old Japanese style is evident. During the romantic cherry blossom season, this bridge is especially fitting. Address: Intersection of Nagoya Otsu-dori and Sotobori-doriSLOAN BUCHANAN

Was a great experience visiting this castle to learn more about history of this beautiful Nagoya city.
one of the prettiest castles I’ve visited. I love how lush the trees were, definitely a very aesthetic place for pictures.
Nagoya Castle, a symbol of Nagoya, Japan, is a majestic historical landmark. Its stunning architecture and vibrant golden shachihoko (dolphin-shaped roof ornaments) captivate visitors. The castle's museum showcases samurai history and culture. Surrounded by a beautiful park and moats, it's a serene escape from city life. Visit during cherry blossom season for a picturesque view. Nagoya Castle is a cultural gem.
