Nagoya Castle

"Nagoya Castle" was built in 1615. Nagoya Castle, famous for the golden shachi on the roof of its castle tower, was designated as the first national treasure in 1930.

Unfortunately, many of the buildings were destroyed by air raids in 1945. After that, the castle tower was rebuilt in 1959 with large donations from citizens, and the Honmaru Palace was restored in 2018 based on the abundant historical materials left behind.
