EasyTicket Nagoya Castle
📍 Japan Nagoya 나고야성
Nagoya Castle is where Nagoya's symbolism comes through most clearly, thanks to its golden shachihoko and restored Honmaru Palace. The castle grounds are broad, so it's better to split your visit between the castle keep exterior, the palace interior, and a garden walk.
Because seasonal events and restoration-related public access conditions may change, check the official notice before visiting.

Useful tips
- If you want to see Honmaru Palace as well, head there first with the last admission time in mind.
- The Main Gate and East Gate are in different locations, so choose the gate that matches the direction of your next stop to cut down on backtracking.
- When I mapped the route, the official guide listed separate walking times from the Main Gate and East Gate to Honmaru Palace, so seeing the palace interior first and adding the outer walk afterward felt less rushed.
- The official guide lists several access routes, including Nagoyajo Station on the Meijo Line and Sengencho Station on the Tsurumai Line. Choose your exit gate based on whether your next stop is Sakae or Nagoya Station.
Frequently asked questions
Can you go inside the castle keep?
Areas open to the public may change depending on restoration and operations. Check the official information for open areas on your visit date.
Should I set aside travel time to Honmaru Palace?
Official guidance says it takes about 10 minutes from the Main Gate or East Gate to Honmaru Palace. Since entry deadlines and public access conditions apply, check the official information for your visit date.
