Great way to understand Japanese culture through intricate architecture. A nice long stroll throughout the palace compound. This castle are not as busy as Osaka Castle.

The vast castle grounds of Nagoya Castle include broad walkways and shady spots ideal for a leisurely stroll. Even though the site appears spectacular from the outside, some people may find the restored Honmaru Palace disappointing because no historical objects are on show and other areas are still being built. It may not be worth the admission price for all tourists because it places more emphasis on architectural beauty than historical significance. Nonetheless, the grounds are excellent for shooting photos, especially with the imposing castle tower in the background, and they provide a complimentary photo memento. It's still an excellent stop for a beautiful walk and cultural understanding, especially if you're already close by, because it has lots of trees and quiet spots.
Veritably beautiful castle in the he❤️rt of Nagoya! We've had a lovely time walking in the serene castle grounds in perfect weather!
The symbol of Nagoya Castle is the golden Shachihoko tiger-fish ornaments adorning the roof of the massive tower keep. A pity the main castle tower is closed due to reno but we can still do the tour of Hanomaru Palace (entry till 4pm) and check out the outer part of the castle at a leisurely pace.
Nagoya Castle is the city's most famous landmark for Hanami 花見 "Flower Viewing". Be it early or in full bloom, the blossoms of Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) and Ume (Plum Blossoms) never fail to captivate camera-happy sightseers (locals or visitors alike) with their subtle shades of pink splendor. Oh yes, there's a pair of Sika deer🦌🦌 grazing in the dried up moat.
Overall a delightful, well-maintained place to explore and experience the Edo period. Of course, the souvenir store and soft-serve stand are not to be skipped!
Nice Castle, wasn’t able to go up the castle under renovation, but we went to a rebuilt portion. Beautiful art work in the rooms on the walls and even on the ceiling in one room. There was no wait in a Wednesday at 10:00am. Had a good time, well worth the 500Yen.
Great to visit a lovely castle in Japan that is not as busy as Osaka but just as beautiful.
The moat is empty at the moment but the visual was still lovely with all the greenery in the moat.
Entry fee is very low and there is a lot to see and enjoy.
Quite accessible but the gravelly paths might be trouble for some.
