😎 Today, let's visit a hidden gem in Nagoya, Japan - Tokugawa Garden 💖 🧐 Tokugawa Garden is located directly east of the main enclosure of Nagoya Castle. It is a charming place. It was built in 1695 and has a history of more than 300 years. The style here is unique. Although it has the shadow of a Chinese garden, it also incorporates distinct Japanese cultural characteristics. Look at the clean ground, and the stone crevices are free of weeds, which shows the meticulous spirit of the Japanese people. The simple and restrained beauty is overwhelming. 🌳 The scenery of Tokugawa Garden is charming all year round. In spring, more than 1,000 peonies and more than 1,700 irises bloom in full bloom; in early summer, irises continue to bloom; in autumn, the maple leaves turn red after frost, and the mountains are like overturned red paint boxes. The scenery is simply beautiful. The layout of the garden is very delicate. For example, Longxian Lake is very distinctive. It is modeled after the West Lake in Hangzhou, China, and imitates the Su Causeway and Bai Causeway of the West Lake. The two river embankments separate the water surface, and the lake water is clear. There are fat koi swimming around in the pond. You can buy some fish food to feed them, which is very fun. 💦 The "Mingfeng Stream" in the garden is also very interesting. It was built according to the legend of carp jumping over the dragon gate. The stream flows down from the flying stones to form a waterfall, like a white snake shuttling through it. The water here comes from the Longmen Waterfall. The water of the waterfall continuously flows into the valley, and the flying stones appear and disappear in the rapids. At that time, it amazed the generals and lords from all over the country who participated in the garden party. 🎑 In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, there are many places to visit in Tokugawa Garden. For example, Guanyan Tower is a two-story building facing Longxian Lake. You can dine, rest, or shop in the building. Standing on the building and looking into the distance, the scenery is beautiful. There is also Huxian Bridge, which is built over the stream. You can overlook the stream and Longxian Lake. Of course, you can't miss the Tokugawa Art Museum, which is next to the garden. The museum displays the Japanese national treasure "The Tale of Genji Picture Scroll". It houses a large number of Tokugawa relics, so art lovers should not miss it. 🚇 The transportation is also very convenient. Take the JR Chuo Line to Ozone Station, and walk for 10 minutes from the south exit; or take the Meijo Line of the subway, and walk for 15 minutes after exiting from Exit 3 of Ozone Station. But be careful, it is closed on Mondays. 💗 Tokugawa Garden is such a small and beautiful place. Here, you can feel the delicacy of Japanese gardens, touch the traces of history, and enjoy the different scenery of the four seasons. Come to Nagoya and experience it 😉

The collections are priceless, if you are into warring state history. Fairly large museum with exhibitions centered around Tokugawa Ieyasu and the daily lives of the wealthy from long ago in Japan. Also, houses original and reproductions of a very famous Japanese story The Tale of Genji. Very nicely presented exhibitions and it is extremely peaceful inside as you walk through. This made for a fairly unenjoyable experience, however I do still recommend going. Lockers are provided for medium to large size luggage, and the usual 100 yen locker #songkran2024#mytravelhacks#cherryblossom2024#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#foodphotography#ipoh#temples#familyfun#siemreap#edinburgh#คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด

The cherry blossoms in Nagoya usually bloom in early April, and I have come to Japan at this time to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms in Nagoya. After entering Nagoya Castle, the first thing you see is the very beautiful scenery: the cherry blossom buds are white, like pure quail eggs, and the blossoms that have opened are like flower fairies, growing vigorously on the big trees... Unfortunately, not many cherry blossoms are in bloom, and if you come a few days later, they will bloom even more beautifully. Continuing further inside, you have to climb the mountain. There are not many steps, but the scenery is much more beautiful than that of an ordinary mountain. The flowers here are of various colors, including red, yellow, purple, and light green, which are very charming. There are also many types of trees here, including phoenix trees, pine trees, and cherry trees. Address: 1001 Tokugawa-cho, Higashi-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture (Tokugawa Garden Management Office) Opening hours: 9:30 to 17:30 Admission: Adults 300 yen, elementary and junior high school students 150 yen, common ticket for the Tokugawa Art Museum, Hosa Library, and Tokugawa Garden 1350 yen

#thingstodo This is a wonderful museum about the Daimiyo period. It talks about the lords, vassals, the lifestyle and mentality of the time. As someone who enjoys learning about history I really enjoyed this museum. Beware, the museum is predominantly in Japanese with small labels of English. So the parts of the museums explaining the stories will be pretty much lost on you and there are no subtitles for foreigners. You are also not allowed to take any pictures inside the museum. Mostly it is for security reasons as the objects, scriptures and scrolls you will see on display are from the time period and very susceptible to light. Would highly recommend visiting and be sure to check their lovely garden area.

🌃🌉🌌🌆🌇As night falls, the center of Nagoya begins to twinkle with beautiful night scenes! Here, you can savor the bustling scenery of the Tokaido🥂, admire the tallest skyscraper in the city✨, and even see the scenery in the distance.
