Aichi Prefecture is one of Japan’s three major metropolitan areas, with Nagoya as its prefectural capital. It also has a deep history as a place associated with Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Please enjoy your trip to Aichi. Nagoya Castle Nagoya Castle, the symbol of Nagoya, was built by Ieyasu Tokugawa, who won the Battle of Sekigahara, in preparation for the Toyotomi forces.After Yoshinao Tokugawa entered the castle, it flourished as the residence of the Owari Tokugawa family. Starting in 1610, Nagoya Castle was completed in about five years by Kiyomasa Kato and others.It was an impregnable castle that utilized the most cutting-edge technology of the time, and is considered one of Japan’s top three castles. The current castle tower was rebuilt in 1959 using steel-framed reinforced concrete after being completely destroyed in an air raid during World War II in 1945. The shining golden Shachihoko at the top of the castle tower is an imaginary creature with the body of a fish and the head of a tiger, symbolizing the power and wealth of the Tokugawa family at the time. On the grounds of Nagoya Castle, the Nagoya Omotenashi Busho-tai, made up of military commanders associated with the Sengoku period such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, will perform impressive demonstrations. Port of Nagoya Aquarium The Port of Nagoya Aquarium opened its south wing in 1992 to display the Earth’s oceans, and opened its north wing to display the history of the sea in 2001, and is an aquarium that continues to develop with the aim of promoting ocean protection and education. Boasting a vast site area and a total tank capacity of approximately 24,000 tons, it is one of the largest in Japan, along with the main pool, which is 60 meters long, 30 meters wide, and has a maximum depth of 12 meters.

It has a status second only to Ise Grand Shrine and Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine, and received national veneration as Japan’s third guardian deity, and its importance was made clear through the enshrinement of the Kusanagi sword in the latter half of the 3rd century. The main deity enshrined is Atsuta Omikami, who dwells in the three sacred treasures, the Kusanagi Sword, and related gods such as Amaterasu Omikami, Sujinson, and Nihon Takeson are also enshrined there.

It is recorded in ancient literature as a navigational landmark, was used as a strategic base in the region during the Sengoku period, and has attracted attention since the Meiji period for its literary background related to Kunio Yanagida’s anecdote “Coconut Fruit.” Cape Irago is located on the border of the Pacific Ocean, Mikawa Bay, and Ise Bay, and the sheer cliffs and white sandy beaches form a beautiful natural landscape. It is home to seabirds and sea turtles, and is full of natural beauties such as Koijigahama and Hinode-no-Ishimon, and the Miyayama primeval forest spreads out inland of the cape, and has been designated as a national natural monument and historic site.

During the Muromachi period, Yoshimoto Imagawa constructed the temple, and later during the Edo period, it was revered by many samurai and common people, and its reputation as a guardian deity of merchants spread throughout the country. The main enshrined deity, “Ubi-ni-ten”, originates from Indian Buddhism and is said to be the goddess of good fortune and wisdom, and is sometimes depicted as riding a white fox as a symbol of this. It is said to have a wide variety of benefits, including prosperity in business and good luck, and is especially well-known for its deep faith among merchants.Although it is a temple, it is also considered one of Japan’s top three Inari shrines.

Okazaki Castle Okazaki Castle is a historic castle that was built around 1455 by Yoritsugu Saigo, the governor of Mikawa Province, and is known as the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu. When the castle was built by the Saigo clan, it functioned as a defense base, and was later moved to its current location by Lord Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, and the name Okazaki Castle has since become established. During the Sengoku period, it was used as a base by the Matsudaira clan, and was an important base for Ieyasu as he aimed to unify the country, and even after that, it was treated as a special castle where the gods were born. The structure of the castle is a Hirayama Castle, and it was designed to be both defensive and aesthetically pleasing.Even after being demolished under the Castle Abandonment Ordinance, the castle tower was restored in 1959 and has become a symbol of Okazaki citizens. The current Okazaki Castle was restored with reinforced concrete in 1959, and the interior is used as a historical museum, which houses items related to Ieyasu. Takeshima Takeshima originated in 1181 when Fujiwara Toshinari solicited Yaotomi Shrine from Chikubu Island in Shiga Prefecture, and has played an important role in local beliefs. Takeshima, where records of visits by Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Matsudaira clan remain, flourished as a place of worship throughout the Edo period and is deeply connected to the Benten faith. Takeshima, with a circumference of 680m and an area of approximately 1.9ha, is made of granite and is connected to the mainland by the Takeshima Bridge, making it a tidal island that connects to the land at low tide. The entire area of Takeshima has been designated as a national natural monument, and its warm-season vegetation stands out, with more than 238 species of unique plants such as sakaki kudzu and pique trees identified. Takeshima, with Yaotomi Shrine at its center, is not only known as a power spot, but also has spectacular natural beauty such as beautiful sunrises and the seascape of Mikawa Bay. Korankei Korankei is said to have its origins in 1634 when the priest Sanei of Kousakuji Temple planted maple and cedar trees along the approach to the shrine, and in 1930 it was given the name Korankei and became a symbol of the area.

During the Sengoku period, it was known as a castle used by three great heroes, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, at important times, and the Naruse family served as the castle’s lord throughout the Edo period. During the Meiji period, many buildings were lost due to the Castle Abolition Order, but the castle tower remains, and it was designed with both defense and visibility in mind, and is equipped with a “mushadashiri” and armor racks that take into account the movement lines of samurai.
