Description

Walk through Inuyama’s historic castle town and discover a samurai stronghold founded in 1537. Choose an optional Nindoshu tasting or meet your guide in Nagoya.
Meet your local guide and explore Inuyama, a riverside castle town shaped by samurai, merchants, and craftspeople.

Begin at Inuyama Station, or choose the Nagoya meeting-point option and travel with your guide by Meitetsu train. Train fare is not included.

Walk through the traditional castle town while hearing how its streets developed beneath Inuyama Castle. Founded around 1537 by Oda Nobuyasu, uncle of Oda Nobunaga, the castle later became connected with Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Its wooden keep is one of only 12 original castle keeps remaining in Japan and one of five designated National Treasures.

See the castle exterior and learn about its defensive design, strategic location above the Kiso River, and survival through centuries of conflict and change. Castle admission is optional and is not included in the tour price.

For an additional taste of local history, select the Nindoshu tasting option. Visit Kojima Brewery, founded in 1597, and sample its traditional sweet herbal liqueur. Nindoshu was presented by the lords of Inuyama to the shogun’s family and is said to have been enjoyed by Tokugawa Ieyasu. This option is available only to guests aged 20 or older and is subject to the brewery’s opening days and availability.

The tour finishes in the Inuyama Castle and castle-town area, allowing you to continue sightseeing, shopping, or dining at your own pace.
