Inuyama

Inuyama is a gorgeous town North of Nagoya. It is a Jokamachi style : Castle Town. The castle is actually one of Japanese oldest extant castles and is perched on top of the mountain by the river. This photo was taken from the onsen of my ryokan (Inuyama-kan) which was a pretty nice way to relax. The keep itself is great inside and you can explore the grounds and climb to the top level for a great view; a view that none other than Hideyoshi himself once saw when he occupied the castle during his brief campaign against Tokugawa Ieyasu. The entry ticket gets you in a few other museums near the castle.
