名古屋城 Nagoya-jyou Nagoya Castle

Jp En


Nagoya Castle, in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, was established by Tokugawa Ieyasu with the help of his daimyo, such as Maeda, Kato, Fukushima, Hosokawa and Kuroda.

It took Ieyasu 3 years to complete. It was built between Edo and Osaka because it was to control the Edo government and also to prepare for attacks from the western side. For 250 years, it was the residence of the Tokugawa family of Owari.

Nagoya Castle was built based on a design by Kato Kiyomasa, which was in the castle keep style. It has a 'shachihoko' on the roof. To enter the 5-layered large castle keep, one must first enter the small castle keep.

Paintings of the castle, by artists such as Kano Teishin, are still preserved. Most of them are designated as important national cultural assets.
