Inuyama | Japanese Garden Yurakuen, National Treasure Teahouse Ruan

#5月好去处2025 In order to visit Inuyama Castle, I bought the Inuyama package, which includes round-trip tickets from Nagoya to Inuyama and Inuyama Garden, Inuyama Castle tickets, and discounts for admission to Yurakuen. The ticket price was reduced from ¥1200 to ¥840, which is much cheaper. Otherwise, the ¥1200 ticket is really not cheap, and the Yurakuen garden is not big. If you don’t go there during the flower season, it is relatively unimpressive. The national treasure teahouse in Yurakuen is called "Nyoan", and you need to pay an additional ¥600 to drink tea. Nyoan is the origin of tea soup. The teahouse built by the great tea craftsman Oda Yurakusai is a precious relic in the history of tea culture. It is one of the existing national treasure tea seats, along with Taian in Yamazaki Myoki-an in Kyoto and Mi-an in Ryukoin in Daitoku-ji Temple. Next to it is the innovatively designed Inuyama Castle Hotel Indigo. Both the outdoor garden and the hotel interior are in line with the scenery of Rakuen, extending the beauty of the Japanese garden into the hotel, which is very stylish.
