Amazing view from Inuyama Castle. One of the remaining 12 Japanese castles from the Edo period, this castle is definitely worth your visit!
It is a real historical monument. You must take off your shoes before entering the city building. The stairs are quite high and it is a bit difficult to go up and down. You can see the scenery near Doushan at the top of the tower, and the view is wide. Pay attention to the short and old railings on the top of the tower. Don't rely on and borrow to avoid accidents.
the oldest castle ♥️
When it comes to like castles, it is one of the castles that always comes out. I definitely wanted to go. In fact, the view from the castle tower and the appearance were wonderful.
