Exploring Inuyama Castle - One of Japan's Twelve Original Castles

Inuyama Castle is located at the border of Aichi and Gifu Prefectures. It is one of Japan's twelve original castles and one of the five national treasure castles. It is definitely worth visiting from Nagoya or Gifu. 💡 Take the Meitetsu Line to 'Inuyama Yuen' station and walk for 20 minutes. 💡 The existing castle keep is primarily wooden, so visitors need to remove their shoes and carry them while climbing. As you approach the top, the stairs become narrow and alternate between ascending and descending, so it's advisable to allow extra time. 💡 The 100 famous castle stamp is on the second floor of the simulated castle tower (the second floor in picture 3, accessed from the back), which can be difficult to find. #Japan #InuyamaCastle #Nagoya #Japan100FamousCastles #Inuyama #Meitetsu #Gifu
