Inuyama Castle is the oldest standing castle in Japan. It was built in 1537 by one of Japan's greatest samurai warriors. After construction, ownership changed hands frequently - but it's the only castle in Japan today that remains privately owned. It stands on top of a hill next to a river... which makes for a beautiful view at the top.

Very steep staircases leading to each floor.You have to remove your shoes to go inside this castle!
Beautiful 360 degree view at the top.
You can walk all the way around the castle topon the small ledge that we're standing on.
amazing view! love how well kept it is - and all the attention to detail.
ReplyDeletethis is my favorite castle in Japan so far. It seems like most of the castles have been turned into museums. But this one is the original!
