Tea Ceremony in the Tearoom of Nagoya Castle

A visit to Nagoya Castle allows visitors to enjoy the gorgeous architecture of the castle, with the castle tower rising in the center and the Honmaru Palace in its forefront.Less well known, however, is the fact that if you go through the passage next to the castle tower, you will find a sprawling 2000㎡ garden with tearooms that are not open to the public.

Private Area
