The Stunning Nagoya Castle, You Have To See It To Believe It! 🇯🇵 🏯🗾

Nagoya castle is a landmark of the city and it has to be at the top of your list if you plan to visit the city. It has been painstakingly restored after it was damaged during WW2 Air raids and is a testament to the fascinating history and culture of Japan The castle itself is set inside huge grounds that offer a nice break from the urban sprawl of Nagoya, it’s nice and peaceful and there are plenty of areas to walk around. Entrance fee is very cheap, around £3 / ¥500 and worth the price. You can enter the Hommaru palace and do the walking tour through the intricately decorated room. The ornate paintings are honestly stunning, with each room featuring different plants and animals. I got the metro to NagoyaJo station and followed the signs, about a ten minute walk. The castle is open 9:00-4:30 with last entry at 4PM #getgoing2025 #japan #nagoya #castle #landmark

Sip & See: Nagoya’s Perfect Pairing 🏯☕ Combine historic charm with modern vibes as you explore Nagoya Castle followed by a breather at q.o.l. coffee—a cozy spot where sunlight filters through floor-to-ceiling windows and trees cast dreamy shadows, making it the perfect pit stop, rain or shine! Start your morning at Nagoya Castle (1-1 Honmaru, Naka Ward), arriving early to stroll the serene grounds and snap “insta-worthy” shots of the iconic golden shachihoko rooftops. Don’t miss the impressive Hommaru Palace and its delicate painted doors—prime backdrop for photos, especially on cloudy days when the moody lighting enhances every detail. Main areas open 9:00–16:30, closed Dec 29–Jan 1—plan accordingly! After exploring, reward yourself with a gourmet coffee at q.o.l. coffee. Take a close-up still: your cup framed by the modern architecture and lush outdoor scenery visible through the café’s panoramic glass. The atmosphere is restful and stylish, great for slowing down and journaling your adventure or getting that dreamy shot with natural tree shadows—the best seats are near the window! Local Tips: Arrive at Nagoya Castle as doors open to skip crowds; weekdays are noticeably quieter. For q.o.l. coffee, rainy days make indoor seating extra cozy, while sunny mornings fill the café with gorgeous light play. Don’t forget cash—some local spots may not accept cards. #Nagoya #NagoyaCastle #CoffeeCulture #TravelJapan #HiddenGems
