Visited the Nagoya Castle in Nagoya City in Japan

November 22, 2005 at 2:57 am | In Uncategorized | 8 Comments

Last week i visited the Nagoya city, to experience the history and modern of the city.

Nagoya City is the fourth largest (third largest metropolitan region) and the third most prosperous city in Japan. It is the capital of Aichi Prefecture. There are many famous sight seeing spots in Nagaya, but i want to introduce the Nagaya Castle to you.

Nagoya Castle was built in 1612. Although a large part of it was burned down by the fires of World War II, the castle was restored to its original condition in 1959. Today the castle is a modern concrete building with airconditioning and elevators. Nagoya Castle is very famous for two magnificent Kin no Shachi (金�?�鯱, Golden Orca) on the roof. They are often used as the symbol of Nagoya.

When i entered the castle, i paied 500 yen for the entrance fee, and i got a handbook, it is just like a map, show you where you are, because it is so big that you are always lost in it ,and guide you to the different place where you want to visit in the cadtle, and tell you some brief information about the sight seeing spots. I took almost four hours in the castle, so you could imagine how large it is. I suggest you if you want to visite here, the Castle is closed at half past 4 o`clock. make sure you have enough time to visite it.

last, wish you also have a good tour,and enjoy the feeling!

For some strange reason, I’ve been to Hamamatsu Castle about three times, but I haven’t made it to Nagoya Castle yet.

Here are some photos that people have taken at Nagoya Castle.

Did you take any pictures yourself when you were there?

That depends. What hardware have you got? Is is a cell phone with a camera or a digital camera as such? In either case, have you consulted the manual on how to transfer images to a computer?

Do you own a computer?

Once you’ve managed to transfer images either to the hard disk of your own networked box or to a removable storage device such as a floppy disk or a flash memory stick, you can either open a free Flickr account and post your stuff there, or you can post it to your WordPress weblog: the page from which you post also allows you to upload images.

Thank you very much for your advice. I have’t my presonal computer, so I tried it at the univercsity library, but i think may be the computer in the library was not support it, or something i did was wrong. I will try it again as you said. Thank you.

Well, the computer would need to recognize your camera as an external USB device after you plug it in with a USB cable. You might also be able to stick your camera’s flash memory card into a converter that allows you to read that card via a floppy drive. In either case, you’d probably need to have software installed on the computer that allows you to transfer the image files.

You could share your photos on the Web simply by e-mailing them from your cell phone to Flickr.

If you’re interested in doing that, please register a free account and I’ll show you how to post the photos via e-mail.

Hello! Today I went to Nagoya and dropped in at the book shop on 11th floor of Takashimaya, a big tower. As There were too many people walking and talking in Nagoya, I was very tired. but I was lucky, because I found the book, which I want to read!

Guoping — I’m glad you’ve managed to sort out your photo problems; the image of the castle looks lovely.

Tetsuo — you found the book? Didn’t you mean you found a book? What did you buy? Have you been to the top floor of the Maruzen bookstore? They’ve got English books there.
