What other travelers are saying about Kiyosu Castle
One of my favourite castles in Japan!
It isn't as big as it's "neighbour" in Nagoya, but it's just as beautiful if not more. There is a beautiful rock garden and a real garden in front. And the inside, entrance for whi h is only 400 yen, is filled with various items related to the Oda Clan, their vassals, and even Sen No Rikyu. The viewing platform is really nice too, and the river that flows below the castle is surrounded by samurai trees on both sides, so I suggest visiting in spring if possible. Smaller building attached to the castle was exhibiting quire a beautiful hina doll collection and it's free of charge, so I suggest you visit that while at it.
Very beautiful castle, with multiple floors. It contains information about the castle and its residents. Also a lot of armor and weapon exhibitions. The view from the top of the rooftop is really good. And for a little extra you have the ability to try on the samurai armor.
More a defensive stronghold compared with the military facility of larger Nagoya castle and a fairly recent reconstruction at that, but still a worthwhile visit.
This is a recreation of the original Kiyosu Castle, where Oda Nobunaga began his campaign of conquest. The recreation has 4 floors and there are TVs playing different documentaries, pretty cool stuff. Not a necessary attraction to go to, but history lovers can surely give it a go.
