Nagoya Castle Ruins


Nagoya Castle was built as a base for an attack on Korea and China by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 16th century. Very little of the castle is left except for some foundations and some walls. At one time this was the 2nd largest castle in Japan. Legend says the castle's main donjon was completed in only 5 months, it was built over an area of 170,000 square meters. Most of the work was shared by the generals under Shogun. There were 6 entrances to the castle. I really wish it would of all been intact I'm sure it was quite an amazing castle. Amber, hard to believe she just turned 14.
