All Reviews of Inuyama Castle

Inuyama Castle is one of Japan’s National Treasures and has one of the oldest surviving castle keeps. From the top of the keep, you can take in beautiful views of the Kiso River. The rich historic atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time.

I recommend planning a half-day visit. Besides touring Inuyama Castle, you can also stop by Haritsuna Shrine and explore Inuyama Castle Town, which is full of Edo-period charm. Along the way, you can try local treats like dango and gohei mochi, take photos, and leisurely enjoy the appeal of this old castle town. It’s a classic spot near Nagoya that’s absolutely worth visiting.

The stairs are pretty steep and narrow, which makes climbing them a bit thrilling, but it also adds to the authentic feel of the old castle.

The view from the top floor is शानदार, and you can see the Kiso River.

The beauty of Inuyama Castle comes from seeing it at a distance. From the Rhine Bridge, the sight of Inuyama Castle towering above and the rapidly flowing Kiso River creates a truly breathtaking scene.

You can take a leisurely stroll along the Omotesando, try some street snacks, and browse the little shops with unique finds.

We stayed at Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen that day. The area nearby was quiet, and we could view Inuyama Castle from a distance from different angles.

Besides the castle tower and walls, there are plenty of other attractions around Inuyama Castle, like the old streets of the castle town, historic buildings, gardens, and museums. You can stroll around, soak up the rich historical atmosphere, and enjoy beautiful scenery and cultural sights.

This national treasure sits on top of a hill with beautiful views. From the castle keep, you can see all of Inuyama City.

The inside of the castle keep is all wood, and you have to take off your shoes to enter. Climbing up to the fifth floor for the view is absolutely worth it.

The location is pretty remote. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the station, and there isn't much to see or do nearby.

You can go all the way up to the top floor and walk around, which really gives you that 'ruler of the world' feeling.
