🇯🇵 Nagoya Walk | Nagoya Castle at Night — Honmaru Palace & Light-Up | Japan 4K Walking Tour ASMR

A 4K evening walk around Nagoya Castle in Nagoya, Japan — from the last daylight into the night, when the castle is lit up. Recorded with the real sound of the place. Short English captions appear on screen now and then. Filmed October 1, 2026 Living in Nagoya, the castle always feels close by — so close that I rarely take the time to visit. This time I heard the Nagoya Castle Nighttime Illumination was on, and I wanted to see the castle in a different light. The walk starts at Kinshachi Yokocho, the dining street next to the castle, and a water fountain topped with a golden shachihoko. Through the main gate, past the Seinan-sumi and Tonan-sumi turrets and the main keep, it goes inside the Honmaru Palace, full of gold, all the way to the Joraku-den, the hall built for the shogun. Then it is back outside as the sun goes down, around the moat and into the night: the castle lit up in changing colors, lights across the courtyard, and patterns projected onto the stone walls and a turret. It ends back at Kinshachi Yokocho and Nagoyajo Station. The main keep has been closed to visitors since May 2018 for earthquake safety, so you only see it from the outside. On the day of filming, admission went up from 500 to 1,000 yen. This autumn's illumination is called "Nagoya Castle Nighttime Light-Up — Be GOLD". It runs September 19 – October 4 and October 18 – 24, 2026. In the video you can see two of its programs: Gold Interaction, the lasers and projections around the main keep, and Time Layer, a path of light along the turrets and stone walls.
