9-Hour Samurai Culture Tour to Nagoya Castle and Tokugawa Art Museum「Now accepting reservations」
Nagoya Castle was built in 1615 as part of Tokugawa Ieyasu’s unification of Japan during the Edo period. All of Nagoya Castle except for the stone walls was burned down in an air raid during World War II. The castle tower was rebuilt in 1959, and the Honmaru Palace was restored in 2018.
Although it is a rebuilt castle, the castle tower and Honmaru Palace have been accurately rebuilt based on surviving blueprints, so you can see how they looked in the past.
The grounds of Nagoya Castle have been developed as a park, where various events are held, and you can enjoy the local B-class gourmet cuisine known as Nagoya Meshi at Kinshachi Yokocho, where Nagoya’s famous restaurants are gathered.
If you come to Nagoya, you should definitely visit Nagoya Castle! Your Aichi tour starts here.
