Trip to Nagoya Castle - brief history and photos
Hello!
Today I wanted to talk about my visit to Nagoya castle. Unfortunately, I didn't take many videos there because I didn't think it'd be interesting for you to watch me walk around the rooms... I did make a lot of photos, though. :D

Beautiful Shiga, Japan- September, 08, 2019
At the Azuchi Castle Archaeological Museum in Shiga, Japan, my granddaughters, Jessica and Larissa, raved about the challenge of researching and answering 10 questions about the historical and socio-cultural exhibits at this museum. After answering correctly, they received, as a souvenir, a beautiful, white Jomon shell that is the name of the first culture in the Japanese archipelago. The granddaughters were happy to have the opportunity to take pictures of people who pretended to be samurai and ninjas. They also were astonished at the replica of the house where the feudal lord Oda Nobunaga lived. This feudal lord was a major figure in Japanese history in the Sengoku period by military conquests dominating almost all of Japan. With the conquest, Nobunaga accumulated great wealth and invested a great deal in art and culture. To elevate his prestige, he built grand and beautiful gardens and castles. Such true works of art. Azuchi Castle, on the edge of Lake Biwa, is considered the grandest castle in Japan, covered in gold and statues on the outside, and decorated with fixed canvas, sliding doors, walls and inside ceiling paintings by his subject Kano. Eitoku from the Kano Art School which Nobunaga sponsored. Certainly, my granddaughters remembered and learned about the Japanese history of this period by successfully accomplishing the cultural challenge. Another place, smelling of vegetation, called La Colina, caught the eye for architecture, rice crops and countless people there. Hunger tightened, and the stomach thanked with a different cuisine can contemplate the sparkling waters of Lake Biwa, as well as hear the birdsong. The afternoon was toasted with the ride at Himurehachimangu. Lovers of Japanese history will love to visit the Himure Temple (at the origin of the founding of the city) and the ruins of Hidetsugu Castle. The latter is reached by a cable car with a beautiful view of Nishinoko Lake. I have so much to thank God for another beautiful day of cultural tours here in Japan. - 08 September 2019
