After-Hours Tour of Nagoya Castle Hommaru Palace

Experience Nagoya Castle in rare tranquility — after the gates close to the public. This premium guided tour begins with a walk through the castle grounds, commissioned by Tokugawa Ieyasu and crowned with golden shachihoko ornaments, a lasting symbol of the city.

Enter the Honmaru Palace, once the political and ceremonial center of the Tokugawa lords. Destroyed in 1945 and rebuilt with traditional techniques, it reopened in 2018 as a showcase of Japanese craftsmanship. Walk cedar-lined corridors, admire glittering fusuma paintings, and marvel at the artistry that revives the shoguns’ world.

This exclusive evening tour grants rare access to restricted areas, including the shogun’s private chambers, where you can take memorable photos in an atmosphere of quiet elegance.
