One of the largest castles in Japan, built in the early Edo period on the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, the five-story castle tower is topped with shining two Kinshachi, one male and one female that has become a symbol of Nagoya.

整個城堡周邊布滿了各類櫻花樹，從淡粉色到鮮豔的粉紅色，形成一個非常迷人的景觀。
去到的時候正值櫻花處處開，美到一個不行。
造訪的當下主城還在整修中沒辦法進入參觀，但是外面的風景也很有可看性。
豪華氣派是我對名古屋城的深刻印象。
