Inuyama Castle: A Must-Visit in Nagoya

If you're visiting Nagoya, a trip to Inuyama Castle is definitely worth your time. For those with good stamina, half a day is sufficient, making a morning visit with an afternoon return a great option. At the Meitetsu ticket counter in Nagoya, you can purchase a one-day pass for Inuyama Castle, which includes round-trip train tickets, entrance to Inuyama Castle, and some tickets for attractions in the old town, along with discount coupons that are rarely used. The recommended route is to take the train from Nagoya to Inuyama-Yuen Station, visit Inuyama Castle first, and then Sanko Inari Shrine, which is located at the foot of the castle. After descending from Inuyama Castle, walk through the old town to Inuyama Station for your return. We visited in the morning, and after exploring Inuyama Castle, it was almost noon, so we had Hida beef sushi and skewers in the old town. However, they weren't as delicious as those on Takayama's old street; the meat was generally too tough, lacking the melt-in-your-mouth texture of Takayama's offerings. Still, it was a nice treat. The weather was extremely hot on the day we visited, so in the afternoon, we stopped by a dessert shop to cool off with some air conditioning and enjoy some tasty sweets. Overall, Inuyama Castle is definitely worth a visit. #JapanTravelGuide #TravelTips #Food #FoodDaily #JapanTravel #Nagoya #InuyamaCastle #HidaBeef #Japan #SankoInariShrine
