Exploring Inuyama Castle

Many online sources claim that Nagoya is a dull city with few attractions, often serving as a transit hub for travelers heading to other parts of Japan. Personally, I quite like this place; it has a convenient transportation network, reasonably priced accommodations, plenty of delicious food, and isn't crowded. Isn't that great? Since I didn't plan to stay long in Nagoya, towards the end of my trip, I took my mom to Inuyama Castle, one of Japan's five national treasures, for a visit. Meitetsu offers a travel package that includes round-trip tickets from Nagoya Station to Inuyama Castle, entrance tickets, and some dining discounts, all for just 1630 YEN, which is quite a bargain. We set off early before 9 AM, and during this weekday time slot, there weren't many people heading to the attractions. It took just over 30 minutes to reach Inuyama Castle/Inuyama Castle Yuen Station. From the station, following the signs, it takes a little over half an hour to reach Inuyama Castle. The weather was indescribably good, making the ancient castle shine brilliantly. After the visit, we strolled along Inuyama Castle Town, and I found a local family-style eel rice restaurant on Google Maps. A 3400 YEN eel bento surprised me with its juiciness and taste! xx #TravelSnippets #OffTheBeatenPath #Travel #EelRice #JapaneseCuisine #Nagoya #InuyamaCastle #JapanFreeTravel #JapanTravel
