We had just two and half hours to explore the city and headed straight to Nagoya Castle. Along the way, we spotted numerous types of Sakura trees in full bloom.
The castle grounds were stunning; with the row of trees next to the Taxi line among the most spectacular blooms I’d seen yet.
Unfortunately, the castle itself was a bit of a disappointment, being completely renovated with modern conveniences such as elevators, and lacks the traditional “feel” compared to other castles such as the one in Himeji.
