Nagoya Castle

Japan, 460-0031 1-1 Honmaru, Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture

A symbol of Nagoya, Nagoya Castle is famous for the golden shachihoko—mythical tiger-headed carp—adorning its roof. Built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the castle served as the residence of the Owari Tokugawa clan for approximately 260 years. In spring, around 900 cherry trees bloom across the castle grounds, making it a beloved spot for cherry blossom viewing. The striking combination of one of Japan’s largest castle towers and the full-bloom cherry blossoms creates a breathtaking scene that embodies the beauty of Japan.
