Nagoya Castle

Despite poor reviews, I decided to give Nagoya Castle a quick try this afternoon. I'm glad that I went, but I wont be going back. The view from the exterior, gardens and tea houses on the grounds are the best part. The castle is a reproduction of the original that was destroyed in WWII. The interior is a random mix with no clear direction or message.

The view from the top of the castle. The horizontal line is the expressway, it almost floats over the city. It is also interesting to note the alignment of the apartment buildings, south facing balconies are highly favored and these buildings demonstrate that.Foot Note!
