The ultimate luxury of the magnificent Nagoya Castle, one of the three famous cities in Japan

This residence of the Owari Tokugawa family, one of the three feudal lords, was built in 1675 and has the largest castle tower in history, and the Hommaru Palace, which is luxuriously magnificent to the extreme, has been designated as a special national historic site. The first generation castle tower with five floors and five steps was completed in 1672, and was the latest layered tower at the time, with golden shachi (mythical creatures) decorations at both ends of the ridge. The main building was destroyed in the air raid in 1945, the existing castle tower was rebuilt in 1959, and the Hommaru Palace has also undergone restoration work, continuing its past glory in a new form. The Hommaru Palace, as the residence of the Owari feudal lord and the government office of the clan, was completed in 1615. It is a representative Shoin-zukuri (a style of Japanese residential architecture) building in Japan and is known as the highest masterpiece of the modern castle palace, and is designated as the first national treasure along with the castle tower. The ceiling paintings, screen paintings, and metal ornaments inside are extremely luxurious and dazzling, and they change depending on the function of each room. The paintings by Kano Sadanobu, Kano Tan'yu and other Kano school painters are extremely gorgeous, each with a different theme, and the moment you step into the room, you are shocked by the powerful aura.
