Introducing Inuyama

Show mapClose map

Dubbed the ‘Japan Rhine’ by a 19th-century geologist, Inuyama’s Kiso River sets a picturesque scene beneath the town’s striking castle. At night the setting becomes all the more cinematic as fishermen come to practise ukai. By day, Inuyama’s quaint streets, its manicured Uraku-en garden and 17th-century teahouse make for a day trip from Nagoya after exploring its castle. Other attractions include the architecture of Meiji-mura Museum, shooting the rapids down the Kiso-gawa and some rather racy shrines.
