Famous places / spots recommended by locals
Inuyama Castle
Inuyama Castle, a national treasure with a castle tower that is said to be the oldest in Japan. Built in the Muromachi period, it is in the limelight nationwide as a precious castle that survived the Warring States period. The view from the castle tower is just superb! You can see the Nobu Plain where the warlords fought from the castle.
Obara Freai Park & Shiki-Zakura (four-season-cherry)
The highlight here is the rare "Four Seasons Cherry Blossoms" that bloom twice a year in spring and autumn. It is in full bloom around November every year. The scenery where you can see - the pink of the four seasons cherry blossoms, the bright red autumn leaves, and the green of the surrounding trees - at once, is a miracle collaboration.
