Visit Inuyama Castle from Nagoya

Take the Inuyama Line from Nagoya for 30 minutes (690 yen) to Inuyama Yuen Station, then walk 15 minutes along the river to reach Inuyama Castle, one of Japan's national treasures. You can also visit the nearby Haritsuna Shrine (for safe childbirth) and Sanko Inari Shrine (for matchmaking). When entering the Inuyama Castle keep, you must remove your shoes, and the stairs are steep, so avoid wearing short skirts to prevent exposure! After visiting the castle, stroll along Inuyama Castle Town, where you'll find Edo-period buildings, snack shops, dessert shops, and souvenir stores. You can also rent a kimono for a photo shoot here. Walk 20 minutes to Inuyama Station (630 yen) to take the JR train back to Nagoya. The route is a loop, so you won't retrace your steps, and after climbing the keep, you can enjoy some food and drinks to recharge.
