Exploring Nagoya's History and Modernity: A Wonderful Journey of Castles and Towers

Early in the morning, I took the subway to Nagoya Castle. This castle boasts a long history and magnificent architecture. As I walked into the castle grounds, the first thing that caught my eye was the golden shachihoko ornament, symbolizing the spirit of Nagoya. The exhibitions inside the castle showcase Nagoya's history and culture, including samurai armor and ancient artifacts, giving me a deeper understanding of the past of this land. On the second floor of the castle, I climbed up to the observation deck and overlooked the entire city of Nagoya. The surrounding urban landscape and distant mountains complemented each other, allowing me to feel the unique charm of this city. I took many photos here as beautiful memories. Next, I went to the Chubu Electric Power Tower. This 180-meter-high tower is one of Nagoya's landmarks, offering a 360-degree view of the city from the top. As I took the elevator up the tower, I was filled with anticipation. Standing on the observation deck, the stunning view before me left me in awe. The streets and buildings of Nagoya looked particularly enchanting under the sunlight, and I could even see the silhouette of Nagoya Castle in the distance. At the café in the Chubu Electric Power Tower, I ordered a cup of local coffee and sat by the window, enjoying the tranquility and beauty. At this moment, I couldn't help but reflect on the unique feeling of the blend of history and modernity in this city. In the evening, I ended this unforgettable journey and took the subway back to the hotel, my heart filled with wonderful memories of Nagoya. This trip to Nagoya Castle and Chubu Electric Power Tower not only allowed me to appreciate the weight of history but also feel the vitality of the city. Nagoya, I look forward to seeing you again!

Sip & See: Nagoya’s Perfect Pairing 🏯☕ Combine historic charm with modern vibes as you explore Nagoya Castle followed by a breather at q.o.l. coffee—a cozy spot where sunlight filters through floor-to-ceiling windows and trees cast dreamy shadows, making it the perfect pit stop, rain or shine! Start your morning at Nagoya Castle (1-1 Honmaru, Naka Ward), arriving early to stroll the serene grounds and snap “insta-worthy” shots of the iconic golden shachihoko rooftops. Don’t miss the impressive Hommaru Palace and its delicate painted doors—prime backdrop for photos, especially on cloudy days when the moody lighting enhances every detail. Main areas open 9:00–16:30, closed Dec 29–Jan 1—plan accordingly! After exploring, reward yourself with a gourmet coffee at q.o.l. coffee. Take a close-up still: your cup framed by the modern architecture and lush outdoor scenery visible through the café’s panoramic glass. The atmosphere is restful and stylish, great for slowing down and journaling your adventure or getting that dreamy shot with natural tree shadows—the best seats are near the window! Local Tips: Arrive at Nagoya Castle as doors open to skip crowds; weekdays are noticeably quieter. For q.o.l. coffee, rainy days make indoor seating extra cozy, while sunny mornings fill the café with gorgeous light play. Don’t forget cash—some local spots may not accept cards. #Nagoya #NagoyaCastle #CoffeeCulture #TravelJapan #HiddenGems
