Never destroyed since its construction in 1537, Inuyama Castle's donjon is considered Japan's oldest. The castle stands on top of a small hill next to the Kiso River, and offers great views of the surrounding region from its top floor.

From 1617 until the end of the feudal age, Inuyama Castle served as the seat of the local Naruse lords. Today it is one of only four castles which are designated national treasures. The other three are Himeji Castle, Matsumoto Castle and Hikone Castle.

Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.

How to get there
The castle can be reached in a 15-20 minute walk from either Inuyama Station or Inuyama-Yuen Station. Inuyama-Yuen Station is a little bit closer. Both stations are operated by Meitetsu Railways.
