Nagoya Castle is historically the castle built by the first Tokugawa shogun. Its a treat to see it..though its not too big. It also looks very pretty at night in pictures (I saw it in the afternoon though). Another plus in visiting Nagoya on the way to Okayama is that I met up with Che's friend who was super-considerate to bring me around to tourist attractions in the little time I had, treated me to the biggest bowl of shomen I've ever seen... then we had an impromptu "lost" time looking for the ryokan I was to say *grin*
