Inuyama Castle

Hi, guys.

I am now doing my internship in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture. I visited Inuyama Castle last weekend and here are some photos I took with my handphone :)

How about Inuyama Castle?
I've lived in Inuyama for 16 years, but have visited there only few times. Maybe you know that better than I. Please guide me there. :)
Did you see YOROI (Japanese old battle suit) there? In older times, my foreign friend saw that and said "Is this Darth Vader?". :-(

Thanks for the first entry (^ ^)

Hahaha... I heard from a friend that the idea of Jedi in Star Wars actually came from Samurai. So it is no surprise that they might share some similarities. And it is funny that Master Yoda speaks English with a funny grammar which also resembles the Japanese grammar (^ ^)

And I like Inuyama Castle. I went to Himeji Castle a few weeks ago and I found it tiring to walk the whole area (v v) But with the size of Inuyama Castle, it is possible to really enjoy the architecture and the surroundings (^ ^)

I think Inuyama Castle looks really nice from the photos you took! Where exactly is it?

Glad that you like the photos :)

It is located at Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. You can take train there from Nagoya. It takes about an hour to get to the Inuyama train station, and you need to walk around 10-20 mins. (I cycled there so I don't really know the exact time... :P)
