We visited Inuyama Castle last year. While it is currently undergoing renovations (for the next few months it seems), I decided to share our experiences for readers thinking about adding it to their future trips. And, yes, Inuyama Castle, one of the few original Japanese castles designated as a National Treasure, is definitely worth the visit! It is quite a lovely sight up on the hill. Entering the main keep of wood and stone was a memorable experience that provided insights on the castle's function in Japan's past. The climb around the keep's floors, and up to the very top provided a great view of the castle compound, Kiso River, the city and the mountains in the distance. With the assistance provided by the wonderful local volunteer guides (English was available during our visit, check for their availability at the ticket gate) we certainly got to appreciate this castle all the more.

This is a very fantastic aquarium. There many fishes and water animals. White Dolphin Beluga, Killer Whales, Turtles and many beautiful jellyfishes. You can go for walking, couples, families and friends.The aquarium was just like an amusement park. You can enjoy with anybody. Everything was so beautiful and you can enjoy the time a lot there. Stuffs were very nice and kind. Its really great to go there especially on rainy day. All Nagoya residences are proud of this aquarium for sure!! 名古屋港にある水族館です。たくさんのお魚や海の生物に出会うことができます。輝くイワシの群れや魚のトンネルなど、海の世界を体感できるように工夫を凝らして展示がしてあり、まるで水の中にいるように一日中楽しむことができます。名古屋の小中学生は、校外学習などで何度も言ったことがあり、みな大好きです。大人になってからも家族、友人、恋人と行く定番スポットです。いつ誰といっても楽しめる楽しい水族館です。かわいいバブルを出すシロイルカのベルーガもいます。ご家族で、お子様と、ご両親と、ぜひ一度来てみてください。

Arriving in Nagoya mid-morning by train from Matsumoto, I thought I would abandon my luggage in a locker at Nagoya Station and head to the Toyota Museum before checking-in to my hotel for a 2-night stay. A short hop (1-stop) on a local Meitetsu train to the nearby Sako Station and a few minutes walk down the street brings you to the main entrance. Just entering the attraction, it immediately earned 5-stars for me when I discovered that the normal Y500 entrance fee is waived for Seniors (over 65's) like myself. Audio guides are available if required for Y200, but for me the informative leaflet in English was sufficient to find my way around. I was blissfully unaware of the Textile Machinery Pavilion and Toyota's history of spinning and weaving prior to visiting and found this part of the exhibit surprisingly interesting. Like most people, I had been drawn to the Museum by the "Cars" and the Automotive Pavilion contained a reasonable cross-section of models across the decades since Toyota's first passenger car (Model AA) was produced in 1936. As well as the cars, I particularly enjoyed the Production Line Reconstructions associated with the Model AA and the exhibit where robotic arms assemble a modern car chassis (.... press the button, stand back and video the balletic performance!). Before you leave, make sure you take in a performance of a Toyota robot playing the violin in the South Lobby (see leaflet for times). It's not only the "Cars" that are the "Stars"!

This is by far the most romantic cherry blossom spot that you can find during the season. This is a university town in a quiet suburbs, you will see children and old folks enjoying the walk along the river where both sides of the banks are dotted with beautiful cherry blossoms. There’s park benches, steps, Japanese wooden bridge surrounding the area, good place to soak in the spring air and photograph the graceful flowers.

We arrived 1400h. There was only two tour buses. The rest were locals. So it was pretty quiet. It can get very crowded on special occasions and different season. It was a lovely walk and offering of prayers all afternoon

Nagoya Omotenashi Bushotai is comprised of 6 bushos (army generals) and 4 jingasa soldiers. The 6 bushos are; Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Toshiie Maeda, Kiyomasa Kato, and Keiji Maeda. Nagoya Omotenashi Bushotai members talk and act as the “real” historical figures. They are featured in various TV shows. They also entertain visitors at the Nagoya Castle.
What a magnificent castle! Only ¥500 entry and there is so much to see. The immaculately kept Hommarugoten, where guests would be greeted on arrival, is fascinating and the grounds are also very well kept.

Fun!! Nice museum showing the Noritake porcelain process, with an excellent on site store and nice cafe. Highlight for us was the paint your own plate experience, for $100 Aud we painted two plates and that included shipping once fired, to Australia. Choose plain or pre patterned plates (pattern outline burns off when fired) and create your masterpiece. Delivery was quick, actually beat us back from Japan. Highly recommended.
