To mark the arrival of a friend in Nagoya for the weekend, I went to Inuyama.
Inuyama is a city located in Gifu Prefecture, north of Nagoya. The city has some tourist attractions: one of the oldest castles in Japan, National Treasure, small gardens, Meiji-mura, and more ... I had placed a priority Meiji-mura, the castle and the park Urakuen. Unfortunately, not waking up late that allowed us to go there early in the afternoon. We had therefore to be limited to Meiji-mura (which has not even finished) and a walk at dusk in a city almost dead. Meiji-mura
do not certainly calls. It is a kind of village, including several buildings constructed throughout Japan during the Meiji period. Not yet reconstructions, they were dismantled and reassembled piece by piece to formed the Meiji-mura current. It has everything: a school, church, bank, town hall, a dispensary doctor, etc.. In short, a real village! It even borders on a lake. What surprised me most is the strong Western influence in architecture.
There is an important thing to know Inuyama: everything closes between 4 and 5 pm and the city empties. It was found by going to Inuyama Castle ... It's a shame, I liked better explore the town. (-_-)
For photos, it is by here.
