Experience of the stay
On a whim, I went to Inuyama with my daughter.
Since we were there, we stayed at the Yurakuen Hotel near Inuyama Castle.
It was about an 8-minute walk from Inuyama Koen Station to the hotel, which is very close to the castle.
The designs in the elevator hall, lobby, bath, and even in the rooms allow you to feel the presence of Inuyama Castle.
There are amenities for women only in the large public bath, but they are available.
The breakfast was luxurious and delicious! You can choose your main course from Japanese or Western styles, and everything else is buffet-style.
I was pleased to find local bottled coffee milk.
It was also great that there was a breakfast plan available through HafH.
Guests can enter the neighboring traditional Japanese garden, Yurakuen, for free!
Note that check-in and check-out can be crowded, so it is important to allow extra time for that.
This hotel is recommended for special occasions!
Experiences during the trip
【Tamafuku Tea House】
A tea shop just outside the hotel.
I recommend grilled rice cakes and shaved ice!
【Japan Monkey Park】
A local amusement park in Inuyama.
There is a shuttle bus from Inuyama Station.
The night park in summer is breathtaking, especially the fireworks you can see from the Ferris wheel.
There were many illuminated rides and stalls, which were also very entertaining!
【Yurakuen】
A traditional Japanese garden next to the hotel.
Guests can enter for free, but you can also enjoy matcha at the historic tea room for a separate fee.
There was a garden stamp instead of the usual goshuin.
【Sankoinari Shrine】
A shrine characterized by its red torii gate and pink heart-shaped ema.
There is a goshuin available.
If you go through the torii, you can directly access Harizuna Shrine and Inuyama Castle.
【Harizuna Shrine】
A shrine located between Sankoinari Shrine and Inuyama Castle, known for safe childbirth and warding off bad luck. Goshuin is available.
【Inuyama Castle】
The stairs to the keep are quite steep and scary, but the view of the Kiso River and scenery from the top is breathtaking!
It will be a good memory.

A sightseeing spot with many places to stroll and eat.
【⬜︎◯ Do】
A store selling power stones.
They have many accessories made from power stones!
【Secret Base】
A surprising shop where cute ladies' apparel is sold at very affordable prices.
There were many games available as well.
【Honmachi Coffee】
A cafe specializing in Instagram-worthy items,
with fantastical puddings and fruit candies.

A specialty store for banana juice.
I recommend the juice made from the Nobunaga banana grown by the store owner!

A store known for delicious cannelés,
which also make great souvenirs!

A place with a variety of unique dengaku!
Perfect for strolling and exploring. The namafu was delicious.
