【女ひとり旅】大人の犬山観光 犬山城と有楽苑で心が整う旅 歴史と美に触れる癒しの時間 城下町で食べ歩きグルメも挑戦

Good morning, this is Hironeko. This time, I’m on a two-day, one-night trip to Nagoya and Inuyama. It’s been a while since I last rode the Tokaido Shinkansen, and I was fully prepared to see Mt. Fuji, but I couldn’t… After cheering myself up and having breakfast, I arrived in Nagoya in no time . I wandered around looking for an open coin locker, finally finding one and storing my luggage. My next stop is Inuyama Castle. I purchased the “Inuyama Castle Town Ticket” at the Meitetsu Line platform. It included tickets and coupons for Inuyama Castle, so it was a great deal! (1,630 yen). Meitetsu Inuyama Line Nagoya to Inuyama. It took about 30 minutes from Nagoya to arrive at Inuyama Station. Turning my back on Inuyama Station, I walked straight and arrived at the entrance to Inuyama Castle Town in about 10 minutes. It felt a little long because the shops along the road weren’t open yet. It’s starting to feel more like a castle town. Inuyama Castle Town. It’s lovely to see the mountain at the end of the road. This castle town developed around Inuyama Castle during the Edo period. Remnants of samurai residences and merchant houses still remain here and there, making it feel like you’ve traveled back in time. There are many restaurants lined up for eating while walking. I prefer to sit and eat rather than walk around, but today I’ll try walking around. Inuyama Gyutaro. Hida Beef Nigiri (700 yen). The rice cracker gets in the way… Let’s eat. It’s melt-in-your-mouth soft and delicious, but I feel uneasy eating it standing up. Next, let’s go to Matsuei Main Store. This long -established Japanese confectionery shop is popular for its “Castle Monaka.” Founded in 1866, it boasts over 150 years of history. The bean paste is filled after the order is placed, so the shell is crispy. The homemade bean paste has a refreshing sweetness, and it was the most delicious monaka I’ve ever had. There were only a few shops open at the time, so I didn’t get to eat much. I arrived at the castle square. It’s unusual to see two shrine gates side by side. Sanko Inari Shrine. Sanko Inari Shrine has been worshiped as the guardian deity of Inuyama Castle since the Muromachi period. As the name “Sanko” suggests , it is said to derive from the “three lights” enshrined there: Amaterasu Omikami, Tsukuyomi, and Inari Omikami. Apparently , heart-shaped votive plaques are popular, said to bring good luck in love and financial fortune. Oh, so this is the rumored votive plaque! Oh, I have to pray first. There are lots of hearts here, too. This is the Omokaru Stone. It’s said that if you close your eyes, pray, lift the stone, and if it feels light, your wish will come true. Yes, it was heavy (tears). It seems to be popular with women and couples for its love luck benefits, but I’m more interested in improving my financial fortune. I donated 100 yen to the shrine office and borrowed a candle and a colander. Apparently, the candle is placed here. There was also a frog, believed to bring good luck in “returning money.” Passing through the Senbon Torii gates, you’ll find the inner shrine of Sanko Inari. The shrine enshrines Fox Lady, the guardian deity of women, and is said to listen to women’s wishes and worries. Haritsuna Shrine. Right next to Sanko Inari is Haritsuna Shrine. This prestigious shrine, with over a thousand years of history as the guardian deity of Inuyama Castle, is the site of the famous “Inuyama Festival,” held annually on the first Saturday and Sunday of April. This sacred horse has long been worshiped as a guardian deity for children and a god of child rearing. Now that we’ve finished our visit, let’s head to Inuyama Castle. Just up the road behind the shrine, you’ll soon be there. My Inuyama Castle Town ticket included an exchange voucher for an admission ticket, so I exchanged it at the counter. Inuyama Castle. Inuyama Castle was built in 1537 by Oda Nobunaga’s uncle, Nobuyasu. It’s designated a National Treasure as the oldest surviving wooden castle tower. It’s impressive to look up at from up close. While wait times can be over an hour on some days, we were able to enter the tower right away. We climbed a nearly vertical staircase. The castle tower is a three-story wooden structure with four interior floors and two basement floors. The castle interior appears to have been largely preserved as it was back then. There were exhibits of folding screens and armor, as well as areas that retained the appearance of rooms from the time of the castle’s construction. The Ishiotoshi Room, literally, was designed for attacking enemy soldiers from above. Apparently , not only stones but also hot water, oil, and flaming firewood were dropped here. We reached the top floor. Wow, what an incredible view! We could see the Kiso River and the Gifu area. The castle tower has a veranda, allowing you to walk around it. The breeze was cool and the view was spectacular, but as someone with a fear of heights, it was extremely scary. The handrails felt like they would break if you put your hands on them, and the floor was slanted outward, making it seem like you might fall. But it’s a one-way street, so I can’t go back. I have no choice but to push forward. Scary, scary, scary. Finally, I reach the finish line. On the way back, I carefully descend, trying not to slip. Ah, I’m sweating like crazy. I salute the sacred tree next to the castle and head back to the castle town. I take a break here, which I’d noticed on the way there. INUYAMA LORELEY BEER. I order my favorite wheat beer, Weizen (700 yen). The old houses in the back were lovely, but I sat in the seat near the entrance where the air conditioning was the strongest. KP puuuu, I feel revived. I’m glad I was able to sit here. Standing drinks are just too much for me after all. After a leisurely rest, I head to my next destination. Stepping outside reveals a scorching heat. Summer travel is tough. The waterside feels cool, but not exactly cool… My next stop is the Japanese garden, Urakuen. It’s pronounced Urakuen. It’s about a five-minute walk from Inuyama Castle. But I couldn’t find the entrance. I thought, ” I can’t get in from here…” I started to get anxious and consider turning back, when finally I arrived at the entrance. It was around the corner toward the hotel. I used the discount admission coupon included in my Inuyama Castle Town Ticket. Admission fee: 840 yen (usually 1,200 yen). Tea fee: 600 yen. The place is enveloped in a quiet, dignified atmosphere. Urakuen Garden. I wanted to forget about my daily life and enjoy a relaxing time. Urakuen Garden was constructed under the supervision of Horiguchi Sutemi, a representative architect of the Showa era. It is dotted with several tea rooms , including the National Treasure tea room “Joan” and the Important Cultural Property “Kyu-Seiden-in Shoin . ” A cute gazebo. I was given a map when I entered the garden, but it’s fun to just wander around freely like this. This is the entrance to the National Treasure tea room “Joan.” Jo -an is a tea house built by Urakusai, the younger brother of Oda Nobunaga. It was originally located at Kennin-ji Temple in Kyoto, but was moved several times before being relocated to Urakuen. Jo-an, the Historic National Treasure Tea House Jo-an. It is usually closed to the public, so you can only see the exterior. The building is characterized by its Uraku-mado windows, which are covered with dozens of thin bamboo stalks. Its tranquil appearance somehow captivates. Shōdenin Shoin (former Shodenin Shoin). Like Joan, the former Shodenin Shoin was built as Oda Uraku’s residence and served as part of his residence for entertaining guests. We took a short break on the veranda. Gen-an (Gen-an) is a tea house restored based on the blueprints of a tea house Uraku once built. Gen- an is larger than Joan and is said to have an unconventional interior. This is likely due to the extensive use of bamboo, which Uraku’s teacher, Sen no Rikyu, disliked. Having toured the entire building, we stopped off for tea. Kō-an (Kō-an). Photography is prohibited inside, so no video is available, but it is an authentic tea house, and we enjoyed cold matcha and Japanese sweets. This is the Kō-an garden. We had a wonderful, peaceful time. Finally, we used the restroom, which looked just like the National Treasure tea house. The “Women’s Only” sign was just too cute. In front of Yurakuen is Hotel Indigo Inuyama Yurakuen. It’s a five-star hotel and I’d love to stay there someday… It has the same lovely atmosphere as Yurakuen. I came out onto a road along the Kiso River. On the other side of the river is Gifu Prefecture. The river is very wide, but I wonder how wide it is. The Kiso River is famous for cormorant fishing. Do you know where the cormorants used in cormorant fishing come from? They come from a capture site called “Uno Misaki” in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Coincidentally , I will be visiting Uno Misaki soon, so I’ll share it with you in a video. I arrived at Inuyama-Yuen Station. From here I will return to Nagoya. The Nagoya edition will be in the next video. Thank you for watching until the end! Please subscribe, like, and comment on my channel .
