Nagoya Castle

#nagoyatrip The Nagoya Castle is actually a museum, "disguised" as castle. Originally built in the first half of the sixteenth century and the middle of the various events of the time, it was almost completely destroyed by the American raid in 1945 and rebuilt from scratch based on drawings and plans survivors. I mean, how often are fond of the "fanboy" of Himeji Castle, Nagoya Castle is not the real castle of Nagoya. The rest just come to realize this: exits, stairs modern with lots of rails and a lift to visit all the floors. The need to completely rebuild the structure, however, has given some freedom of action to the designers who have finally decided to use as the interior spaces to show Japanese antiques or reproductions. In addition, the castle was continuously extended with new halls . Two parts that interested me the most: the outdoor gardens, pleasant almost like those of the castle in Akashi, and the floor of the castle which was rebuilt in a Japanese city of Edo period, with lots of alternation of day and night to realize what meant to be no light at the time.
