Nagoya Castle and Hommaru Palace

Nagoya Castle is certainly at the top of Nagoya City's signature sightseeing spots. The castle was one of the last building blocks of Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu's wish to unite the then warring states of the Japanese archipelago, and construction began in 1610. The local Owari Tokugawas of the three great Tokugawa clans, from which the shogun could be chosen, made the castle their residence.
