Nagoya

I love Japan because everything's just so cute... well, except for the prices.

During my trip to Japan this year, I was fortunate to have the time to visit Nagoya Castle. It's about an hour from the airport if you ride the express train. The weather in Japan at this time of the year is hot and humid so, even after just an hour of touring the castle grounds, we were already lethargic.


















I think that this is the castle where they shot a part of "Shinobi"
















The castle is famous for the golden dolphins made of 24K gold which adorn the castle's roof.















Outside the castle, there are peddlers, selling small trinkets, who are scattered along the streets.

We also saw a lot of sumo wrestlers within the vicinity because of a match happening in the center just across the castle.
