Inuyama Castle 🏰🌸

The national treasure, Inuyama Castle, may only have its main keep (tenshu-kaku) remaining from the existing structures, 🏰🌸 but it is the oldest among the 12 existing castle keeps from Japan's Edo period. 🌿🍃 From Meitetsu Inuyama Station, it's a 20-minute walk to the castle, 🏰🌸 located below which are Haritaka Shrine and Sanko Inari Shrine. 🛤️🌳 Pass through the torii gate of the Inari Shrine and climb up the stairs, followed by another uphill path. 🏰🌸 The admission fee to enter the main keep is 550 yen, and you can purchase tickets at the vending machine using Alipay. 🎫📱 You must remove your shoes to enter the main keep, and staff will provide plastic bags to carry your shoes with you. 🛍️ 🏰🌸 It's much smaller than Himeji Castle, with stairs that are still very steep. Climb to the top and take a walk around to enjoy the distant views. 🏰🌸 You can finish exploring in about 20 minutes. 🕒🌄 #InuyamaCastle 🏰🌸
