🌸🌺🌿🍃 【Honmaru Goten】(1) 🏰

Don't miss this when visiting Nagoya Castle! The most magnificent castle palace in Japan! 🌟 🌸🌺🌿🍃 Built in 1615 as the administrative and residential quarters for the feudal lord, it later became the living area for the shogun. 🏯 The palace was destroyed in an air raid in 1945, and what you see now is a reconstruction. 🔨 🌸🌺🌿🍃 The architecture and interior are quite splendid. The entire structure is made from a high-quality aromatic cypress, known as the highly esteemed Japanese hinoki cypress. 🌸🌺🌿🍃 It is adorned with colorful paintings featuring pure gold leaf, painted tigers, lizards, auspicious birds, and beasts, as well as plants and flowers. 🖼️ 🌸🌺🌿🍃 #NagoyaCastle #HonmaruGoten #JapaneseArchitecturalSplendor 🌸🌺🌿🍃
