Inuyama Castle

4.2
4.8/5
103 reviews
Inuyama Castle was built during the Muromachi Shogunate period. It is located on a small hill next to the Kiso River and is also known as Baidi Castle. This name is not unfamiliar to Chinese travelers, and the namer is indeed reminiscent of the poem "Early Departure from Baidi Castle" written by Li Bai. The Inuyama Castle Tower is one of the twelve existing ancient castle towers in Japan, and its style is relatively old. It is known as the "Four National Treasure Castles of Japan" together with Himeji Castle, Matsumoto Castle, and Hikone Castle. It has 3 floors on the outside, 4 floors inside, and 2 floors underground, which is rare among the castle towers in Japan. Of course, these floors are open to visitors, and travelers can view various architectural structures of the city underground. On the top floor, the 4th floor, you can also walk to the outdoor corridor to enjoy the scenery. Every Thursday, you can also watch the tour of the Aichi Prefecture's Warring States Princess Team for free, which is somewhat similar to the Nagoya Castle's general team and is still worth seeing. Inuyama Castle was built in 1537 by Oda Nobuyasu, the uncle of Oda Nobunaga. It is located on the border of Owari (Aichi Prefecture) and Mino (Gifu Prefecture). It has been a key point for conquering the world since the Warring States Period, and the lord of the castle has changed frequently. During the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute (1584), Toyotomi Hideyoshi led an army of 120,000 into the castle and had a showdown with Tokugawa Ieyasu who used Komakiyama Castle as his base. In the Edo Period (1603-1868), Naruse Masashige, the head of the Owari domain's retainers, became the lord of the castle until the end of the shogunate. However, due to the abolition of domains and establishment of prefectures during the Meiji Restoration (1868), the castle became the property of Aichi Prefecture. However, due to the Nobi earthquake in 1891, half of the castle was damaged, and the castle became the property of the Naruse family again on the condition of restoration. It was a privately owned castle until 2004, when it was taken over by a foundation.Inuyama · 12.1 km from Seki

This is a very cost-effective attraction, suitable for a day trip or staying overnight nearby. It's about a 15-minute walk from Inuyama Yuen Station. You can climb the castle tower and overlook the beautiful scenery of Inuyama City. It's quite pleasant. You can find food in the Inuyama Castle Town next to it.

Monet's Pond, a popular attraction on social media, became a shade unexpectedly. Why is it said to be an unexpected shade? Originally, it was just a reservoir used by locals to store spring water. Under the care and management of caring people, and with the perfect combination of local residents releasing their own koi into the pond, it has become a real version of Monet's famous painting of water lilies. Due to its high resemblance to the famous painting, it has attracted many tourists in recent years, making this small reservoir empty and crowded. It is not good to look at on rainy days, so please be careful.

Among the top 100 Japanese castles, the eye-catching Gifu Castle is ranked 39th. Gifu Castle's castle tower is famous for Saito Hall and Oda Nobunaga's snow-white castle. It is located on Kinka Mountain at an altitude of 329 meters. It was rebuilt with reinforced concrete in 1956. Although it lacks the original historical flavor, the park is well planned. You can also take a cable car to the mountain, which is quite convenient. The relics of Oda Nobunaga's time are well organized and preserved. You can see the Japanese Alps in the north and the vast Nobi Plain in the south. The castle occupies a commanding height and overlooks the hinterland of Gifu. The winding Nagara River is also in sight. ~

There are a wide variety of attractions and plenty of rides that even children around 3 years old can enjoy, making it the perfect place for a first amusement park. In addition, a pool area called "Monple" opens in the summer, and it is perfect for families to splash around in the water, with a lazy river, slides, and a shallow water play area. The park is not too large, and there are plenty of benches and a food court, so you can enjoy it all day with plenty of breaks in between. However, the parking lot can get crowded during peak season, so we recommend arriving early.
