NAGOYA CASTLE Walking Tour - 名古屋城ウォーキングツアー

Nagoya Castle was Japan's first castle to be designated a National Treasure. Nagoya Castle was completed in 1615 by the Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu. Topped with golden shachihoko, votive tiger-fish roof devices, and boasting the largest floorspace of any tower keep, Nagoya Castle and its magnificent Hommaru Palace were operated as a military facility. Even after wartime air raid destruction, it was deemed historically important enough to be designated a National Historic Site. Restoration work being carried out is returning Nagoya Castle to original condition. 00:00 Intro 00:15 Subway Shiyakusho Station 01:06 Fountain 01:38 Muncharu Zone Shop 03:16 Namban Wall 03:43 East Gate Entrance 03:53 Rest Spot 04:11 Gift Shop 04:26 Japanese Plum Grove 05:18 Statue of Kiyomasa Pulling Stone 05:32 Southeast Corner Tower 06:07 Nishinomaru Area 06:23 Hommaru Front Second Gate 07:01 Hommaru Palace 07:45 Nagoya Castle Tower (Main & Minor) 10:00 Fumei Gate 10:45 Kin Shachi (Golden Votive-Tiger Fish) 11:16 Ofukemaru Exhibit Hall 11:44 Ofukemaru Area 12:44 Main Catle Tower (Side View) 13:56 Southwest Corner Tower 14:29 Main Gate 14:45 Ninomaru Area 15:50 Ninomaru Tea House 16:20 Ninomaru Garden 19:48 Ninomaru East Garden
