Reaching 600th Followers. Wanna reward you for a tour to a famous main attraction here in Nagoya - The Nagoya Castle
Giving my most gratitude to all the people who continue to support my blog. Giving your precious time reading, commenting and upvoting my blog is like a treasure to me.
Today, I want to tour you around in one of the main attraction here on my place, the Nagoya Castle.
What is Japanese Castles?
Japanese castles were fortresses constructed primarily of wood and stone. They evolved from the wooden stockades of earlier centuries and came into their best-known form in the 16th century. Castles in Japan were built to guard important or strategic sites, such as ports, river crossings, or crossroads, and almost always incorporated the landscape into their defenses.
Though they were built to last and used more stone in their construction than most Japanese buildings, castles were still constructed primarily of wood, and many were destroyed over the years. This was especially true during the Sengoku period (1467–1603), when many of these castles were first built. However, many were rebuilt, either later in the Sengoku period, in the Edo period (1603–1867) that followed, or more recently, as national heritage sites or museums.
A brief history of Nagoya Castle
Today, July 4, 2017, I am really happy to tour you around at Nagoya Castle and hope you shred some of your precious time in my blog because I want it to be very exciting to you guys. This where our journey for the day started.
The Entrance ticket cause 500 yen (approximately $5) for an adult.
In Japan, the koi is a common symbol of strength and steadfastness in the face of adversity. The imagery of koi swimming upriver is often used to symbolize the overcoming of obstacles, and ultimate victory in the face of adversity.
Don't lose yourself around this vast place.
A little history of Nagoya Castle Hommaru Palace
I'm got curious what is inside in Hommaru Palace. Here is what inside.
Name of people written in here
Souvenir shop around the castles.
steemit everyday :D
Right side is the Nagoya Castle.
We already come inside the Castle.
The second floor
Longest guns I've ever seen
Children spend their field trip here
You can help them out pulling the rope. Just go behind them.
Like this cute little girl.
6th floor is the top floor.
Some souvenir shop on the top. With steemit! Lol
Decided to take a break after a few hours of walking.
I was very happy to visit this place with my Steemit Card.
Our last glance near the Castle.
Glad we visited this place together with steemit. With some crazy picture, lol...
Thank you everyone for helping me reaching this achievement. I love you all guys!
Please upvote, resteem and follow me, thank you.
Awesome man !
thank you, I love the giphy!
This is very beautiful. The castle and surrounding buildings are gorgeous. I love the Koi symbol and the hats at the end!
Congratulations on 600 followers - you clearly deserve it! I just became #600-and-something (I am sure you are way past 601 at this point.)
My father lived in Japan for 6 years in Tokai, south of Tokyo.
I visited him and I asked him if we could go to Hikone Castle (彦根城 Hikone-jō) on Lake Biwa
because I heard it was very beautiful and it also had an exhibit of Noh masks
(I am a huge fan of antique masks!) It was fantastic - there was a moat with white and black swans.
I think your castle though was better because it showed more about the life inside the castle and had the models of the men pulling the stones with ropes and many other things. What is that big wooden barrel in the picture? It is the second picture after you write, "We already come inside the Castle."
I would love to go back to Japan and travel all over the country seeing all the castles.
I look forward to following you and reading more!
Thanks, I really appreciate your comment here, I love your pictures... I think I must visit the Hikone Castle as well! followed you, buddy...hope to see your future blog post!
