National Treasure Inuyama Castle
Once a rare castle that was privately owned in Japan, it was transferred to the public foundation Inuyama Castle Hakutei Library in 2004. Positioned at the border between Owari and Mino provinces, the castle saw frequent changes in rulers during the Sengoku period, including the Oda, Ikeda, and Ishikawa clans. During the Edo period, the castle lord was Naruse Masashige, a senior retainer of the Owari Domain, who held this position until the end of the Edo period.
Inuyama Castle has many attractions. One of them is a sacred tree called "Osugi-sama," which local residents honor with shimenawa (sacred rope). Much of the wood used in the castle's construction remains, allowing visitors to feel the history within its walls. As you pass through the castle gate, its grand appearance unfolds before you, allowing you to experience the history and strength of Inuyama Castle. This beautiful castle, which survived the tumultuous Sengoku era and evaded air raids, continues to be loved by many people to this day.
