nagoya castle

antonette and i finally made our way to nagoya castle. we tried visiting it once before but didn't make it during the hours of operation. we made sure to be on time this time around.

overall it was a nice visit and its very close to where we live. the castle wasn't very impressive. i think we made the mistake of visiting inuyama castle first and now it has set the standard. nagoya castle is not in its original condition. its actually a replica of the original castle that was bombed during the american attacks of WWII. we wish we could have seen the original :(

the castle garden on the other hand is spectacular. really worth the visit. take a look.

inuyama castle

this is part 1 and 2 of our visit to the oldest standing castle in japan, inuyama castle located in the aichi prefecture in the city of inuyama. the castle is surrounded by a great view of the city and a beautiful garden. only 500 yen for admission, you can't beat that. what a beautiful sight to ring in the new year. below are views from the top floor of the castle as well as an interior shot of the middle floor.
