#nagoyatravel Travel to Nagoya, come and see it⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1️⃣Nagoya Castle In 1615, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shogun who unified Japan, ordered the construction of Nagoya Castle. Nagoya Castle has the golden owl kiss made of gold decorated on both ends of the main ridge of the roof, the Grand Castle, which is known as the largest building area in Japanese history, and the gorgeous and luxurious Honmaru Palace. It also has the function of a fortress to reinforce defense, so it is used in many castles. Among them, the prestigious Nagoya Castle topped the list and was designated as a national treasure. Although it is similar to Osaka Castle, it looks quite shocking and beautiful! ❤️ 2️⃣Futabakan & Jumukan Futaba Palace is a Japanese-European building where Japan's first actress Kawakami Sadao and electricity king Fukuzawa Moosuke lived during the Taisho era. It was called "Futaba Palace" at that time. It was moved and restored to its original appearance and opened in February 2005. Rakikan is a residence built by the ceramics exporter Kaizaburo Imoto from the late Taisho period to the early Showa period. Indulge in the romantic atmosphere of Taisho here. There is no need to buy tickets for its coffee garden, which is very beautiful! 👍👍👍 It is highly recommended to visit if you like history. The two museums are hundreds of meters apart, and you can purchase a package ticket for 320 yen to visit. 3️⃣Central Power Tower Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER is Japan's first centralized radio tower built in 1954, and is registered as a national tangible cultural property. After the first overall renovation since its opening in 1954, it has transformed into a new downtown landmark. It was wonderful to go at night! Excellent photo taking! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4️⃣Inuyama Castle Inuyama Castle is said to have been built by Oda Nobunaga's uncle in 1537 during the Muromachi period. The view from the top of the castle is truly breathtaking. In addition to visiting the castle, the "Inuyama Castle Town", a street full of ancient style, is also very attractive when you go to Inuyama Castle. Walking there really feels like going back to the ancient times, and there are many restaurants! 🤤🤤🤤 On the way to Inuyama Castle, there is also a marriage temple, so go and be surrounded by your hearts! ❤️❤️❤️ 5️⃣Osu Kannon Temple and Shopping Street Osu Kannon-ji Temple was founded in 1333. At the entrance of the shopping street, its main building is not big, but it looks majestic! There are many cute shops in the shopping street, such as a jewelry and gift shop that simulates Alice in Wonderland, gashapon, and a lot of delicious food! 🤤🤤 6️⃣Nagoya Science Museum The appearance of the Nagoya Science Museum is shocking. The science museum is located in Shirakawa Park and is shaped like an eye-catching giant sphere! The "World's Largest Planetarium" was certified by Guinness World Records in 2011! Shirakawa Park is also full of trees and is very suitable for walking. The Science Museum is very close to Osu Kannon Temple and can be reached on foot.
