After exiting the station, you will first arrive at the castle town, where you can eat something first. After walking to the end, you will reach Inuyama Castle and Sanko Inari Shrine. In the Chejoshita Town, we ate Koi Komachi and Yamada Gohei Cake Shop as part of the package, and we also had Tofu Miso from Yoko Tea House. 「爱小町だんご」 The colorful and cute dumplings, the combination of eight dumplings with fillings of different flavors and a cup of tea will really make girls’ hearts flutter! ! "Yamada Gohei Cake Shop" This restaurant has a lot of people queuing up. It is a dumpling made by pounding boiled rice into small particles. The outer layer is dipped in homemade sauce, and sesame seeds, walnuts, and peanuts are added inside. 「さくら茶屋」 I bought a tofu miso skewer here and sat on the bench in front of the door to eat it. After eating, we went to "Inuyama Castle" and "Sanko Inari Shrine" "Inuyama Castle" It is the oldest existing wooden castle tower in Japan. You have to queue up to go up to the castle tower. If you are too lazy to queue, just take a look below. "Sanko Inari Shrine" The surrounding shrine groups include "Himegame Shrine", "Sarutahiko Shrine" and "Sanko Inari Shrine".

The way to launder money is to put the banknotes and change in the wallet into a basket, then use a spoon to pour spring water from the shrine on the coins, repeat the cycle several times, wipe the money dry, and put it in the wallet to collect as money mother. good. Among them, "Hime Kame Shrine" is dedicated to praying for marriage. The walls are covered with heart-shaped emaci, which are super cute.

Inuyama Castle, located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, is an ancient castle with over 400 years of history, known as one of the oldest surviving castles in Japan. Perched on the banks of the Kiso River and built on a hill, the castle offers a commanding view of the surrounding scenery. In winter, when snow blankets its ancient rooftops and stone walls, Inuyama Castle resembles a serene landscape painting, showcasing the unique charm of this historic site. Historical Legacy Inuyama Castle was built in 1537 by Oda Nobuyasu, the uncle of Oda Nobunaga. The castle has withstood numerous battles during the Sengoku period and remains one of the 12 original castles still standing in Japan. The castle keep is a wooden structure that retains its original design and construction, earning it the designation of an Important Cultural Property and being listed as a National Treasure in 1984. Visiting Inuyama Castle in winter, the sense of history is even more profound against the backdrop of snow. Stepping inside the castle, one can almost hear the drums of past battles and imagine the samurai who once defended their homeland here. The Winter Beauty of Inuyama Castle Inuyama Castle in winter has a special allure. The black rooftops stand out strikingly against the white snow, and the ancient stone walls and wooden structures complement the icy landscape, highlighting the castle's resilience and elegance. As you ascend the winding paths of the castle, the mist and snowflakes intertwine, seemingly guiding visitors into a tranquil time and space. From the top of the castle keep, you can overlook the entire Inuyama Castle town and the magnificent scenery of the Kiso River. The winter tranquility inspires awe. The snowy riverbanks and distant mountains create a picturesque scene that is hard to leave. Especially at sunset, the snow and the ancient castle glow with a golden hue under the slanting rays, as if the entire world is reduced to this solitary ancient castle, quietly guarding the memories of the past.

#NagoyaTravel I came to Inuyama Castle in Nagoya. It was the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. The whole castle was surrounded by white cherry blossoms. The breeze blew gently, and the petals fluttered in the air, as if welcoming every visitor. Climb up the trail to Inuyama Castle and enjoy the magnificent scenery along the way. While taking photos, I felt the historical atmosphere of the ancient city. When I reached the top of the castle and looked down at the surrounding mountains and rivers, I couldn't help but feel shocked. Inside the castle, I visited many precious artifacts and learned about Japanese historical stories from texts. This trip not only allowed me to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also allowed me to feel the profound history and cultural heritage of Japan.

The Standard room has different views, including Inuyama Castle, Kiso River, Urakuen Garden, and Suite rooms, which are 51 and 70 sq.m., the largest and most expensive rooms in the hotel. The room we stayed in this time was the Standard River View room, which has only 2 rooms per floor. The highlight is that you can see the Kiso River and watch the sunset from inside the room. Since the hotel has only been open for 1 year, everything still looks new. The equipment in the room is modern, including a Smart TV, curtain and lighting controls in the room. The bathroom is divided into a shower room and a toilet (no bathtub). Inside there is a separate walk-in closet. The interior decoration of the room is in line with the hotel's theme, both Japanese and the use of beautiful colors. I guarantee that you will definitely take beautiful pictures. For the Yamateras restaurant, we used the service for both dinner, which was served as an a la carte or set menu. There were many Japanese dishes, pastas, salads, and steaks to choose from. Breakfast is a buffet line with salads, pastries, various drinks, and a main course for each person to order 1 set. You can choose Japanese or international breakfast. We chose the Japanese set, with grilled fish as the main dish, rice, and side dishes, all beautifully decorated in Japanese style. The hotel's highlight is the Onsen, which is large and luxurious. Guests can use the service for free. The Onsen rooms are separated for men and women. Inside the Onsen, there is one indoor hot spring pool and one outdoor hot spring pool, as well as a cold spring and sauna, which is considered complete and meets the needs of those who want to relax and soak in a hot spring in a hotel like this. For those who love to exercise, there is a fitness room on the 1st floor of the hotel, near the entrance to the Onsen, open 24 hours a day. From my experience staying at Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen Garden, I must say that it exceeded my expectations in terms of service, beauty of the place, and overall atmosphere.

In May, I visited Inuyama Castle, a national treasure in Aichi. Honestly, I was shocked. Personally, I would recommend visiting this place over Nagoya Castle. The castle town is very beautiful, and when I walked up the steep stairs to the castle tower, I was surprised to see such a beautiful view. I think the stairs are difficult for people with weak legs, but it is worth the effort. If you use a selfie stick or a GoPro to take pictures, you will be able to create even better memories. It was a tourist spot that I would recommend. #InuyamaCastle

Originally built in 1537, it has survived wars and various natural disasters throughout the ages and is the oldest castle in Japan.

1. Address: Sweets Shop Appare Honpo Recommended points: The shaved ice is milk flavored and goes well with the cream, warabi mochi, and strawberries. Also, if you wear a yukata, you will get a 50 yen discount. Evaluation: It melts easily during this season because it's outside, but it's very delicious, so I recommend it. 2. Address: Iseya Recommended points: You can eat stylish sushi. The price is relatively reasonable and you can choose the amount, but it was hot so I had kishimen. If you wear a yukata, you will get a 10% discount. Evaluation: You can fill your stomach right after entering the castle town street. The closer you get to Inuyama Castle, the more sweets there are and the fewer places you can sit and eat, so I recommend it. Overall, there are many shops where you can get a discount if you wear a yukata. You can experience a different atmosphere than usual, so please try wearing one. #Gourmet

#SummerWeekendTrip I went to Inuyama Castle for a walk!! It was my first time entering Inuyama Castle, and what surprised me was how steep the stairs were! 😂 I had to climb them as hard as I could😂 For lunch, I went to a nearby Maiko Sushi restaurant and had sushi that fit in my hand and three types of sake🤤 I wonder why sushi and sake go so well together🤤 Please take a stroll around Inuyama Castle Town🥰 #TourismSupport #SummerShortTrip #Trip2022 #Gourmet #HistoricalSites #GourmetTrip #GourmetFood #WesternJapan #GourmetTrip #Inuyama #InuyamaCastle

At Honjoji Temple on the mountain in Nagoya, Japan, you have to climb to the top floor of the temple by yourself. Yes, because the stairs are very narrow, you have to use your hands and feet to climb up. The scenery from afar is really beautiful, which comforts the soul and relieves the stress a lot. 

I stayed at Hotel Indigo Inuyama Yurakuen, which just opened in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture on March 1, 2022. Hotel Indigo is a hotel brand of the British InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), and is a boutique hotel brand that thoroughly reflects the history and culture of the area in the hotel, rooms, and cuisine. There are not as many foreign-affiliated luxury hotels in Aichi Prefecture as there are in Tokyo and Osaka (the Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel is the most famous?), so I was looking forward to the opening of this foreign-affiliated hotel. As per the concept, the hotel, rooms, and cuisine fully reflect the local characteristics. You can feel the national treasure Inuyama Castle from anywhere in the hotel. It is probably difficult to find a hotel in Japan where you can stay while feeling the castle. In addition, this hotel also has a natural hot spring, which is rare for foreign-affiliated hotels. It is the best hotel to forget about your daily life and immerse yourself in an elegant mood. #luxuryhotel #hotspring #hotelindigo #nagoya

Inuyama Castle, a national treasure in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture Lonboo Atsushi, who loves castles, has said that Inuyama Castle is his "favorite castle!" and is serving as an Inuyama tourism ambassador. I personally like the view from the castle tower. And, along with Inuyama Castle, I recommend visiting Sanko Inari Shrine, with its cute heart-shaped votive plaques, as shown in the first photo. It's a recommended spot for Instagram. Address: 65-2 Kitakoken, Inuyama Oaza, Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture #Shrine #Retro townscape

Inuyama Castle in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, is a highly attractive tourist spot that can be enjoyed in many ways!

You can also drink local beer in the castle town🍺 If you take the Meitetsu train to visit the national treasure Inuyama Castle and walk around the castle town eating your way through the castle town, the Inuyama Castle Town Ticket is a good deal😚 #flowerviewing #greatviews #gourmettrip #triptoenjoyspring

Inuyama Castle is located in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture. Across the river in the photo is Gifu Prefecture, so it's a luxurious place where you can see both Aichi Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture🌱 It doesn't fit in the photo, but the view is great and you can see the Twin Tower Hotel directly above Nagoya Station🥺 Recent castles have elevators and are quite modern, but this castle has wooden stairs and other things, so the inside of the castle itself exudes the Sengoku period🥰 On the way up the castle tower, there are exhibits about the successive castle lords and the history of Inuyama, which is very interesting🌸 When I visited, there were restrictions on where you could go at the top of the castle tower due to strong winds. I couldn't see the Gifu side from the front... So it's better to be careful of the weather when you go! #InuyamaCastle #InuyamaCity #AichiPrefecture #Castles #JapaneseCastles #HistoricalSites #History #JapaneseHistory #SengokuPeriod

At Little World, you can travel the world, visit good luck spots, and make wishes to various gods. In the Thailand area, the famous pink Ganesha is reproduced in a miniature size, which is very cute. When you think of Ganesha, you think of a rat. A rat is always present as his attendant. Enjoy your own world trip by wearing the national costumes of various countries and enjoying gourmet food. #Nagoya #LittleWorld #SupportTourism #SupportTourism#GourmetTrip

I regularly visit Little World. The popular Indonesia Pavilion features buildings themed on the homes of aristocrats. Just looking at the photos, the quality is so high you wouldn't believe they were taken in Japan. You can also enjoy Indonesian staples such as nasi goreng, mie goreng, and ayam goreng. #Indonesia #Nagoya #SupportTourism #SupportTourism

This is Little World's Taiwanese farmhouse. It was apparently restored based on a model of a Fujianese Han farmhouse. It features a U-shaped three-building structure. In the center is a ritual hall that is also used as a guest room, and the older brother's family lives in the left building, and the younger brother's family lives in the right building. This style of living reflects the idea that the left side is dominant and that the elderly are valued. The Chinese-style furnishings installed in the house were also interesting, and I never got bored of taking photos. Also, across the road was a Taiwanese restaurant called "Taiwan Xiaoguan." 　　 #Taiwan #SupportTourism #Nagoya #SupportTourism

I was also impressed by the pagodas I visited when I went to Nepal. Nepalese music was playing and the incense smelled great. It felt like I was walking through Kathmandu. They also sold stamps with Nepalese characteristics, such as Buddha Eyes, and there were a variety of designs. #LittleWorld #Nepal #Nagoya #SupportTourism#BreathtakingViews
