Exploring Inuyama: A Half-Day Trip from Nagoya

If you're looking to explore beyond Nagoya city, consider a half-day trip to Inuyama. It's just a convenient 40-minute journey from Nagoya to Inuyama. After some planning, you can get off at Inuyama Yuen Station and walk to Inuyama Castle. Stroll through the charming Inuyama Castle Town, starting from Showa Yokocho, where you'll find plenty of snacks, matcha, coffee, and delicious Hida beef skewers! The entire street is picturesque, exuding a strong Edo period vibe, which is a refreshing change from the bustling city life. It's not crowded, making for a peaceful walk. Inuyama Castle costs 550 yen per person, and you can pay with cash or a transportation card. Remember to take off your shoes when visiting the castle. The stairs are incredibly steep, but the view from the top is worth the climb! It's a must-see! There's also the Early Departure White Emperor Castle, rich in Japanese history, mostly explained in Chinese, making it easy to understand. The weather was nice all day, and it wasn't noisy, making it perfect for selfies. We spent about three hours in Inuyama and returned to Nagoya around 3 PM. It's definitely worth a visit! #NagoyaInuyama #NagoyaInuyamaCastle #JapanNagoya
