Excursion
On Wednesday afternoon (August 1), we plan to have an excursion to Inuyama, an old castle town located in the north of Nagoya. In Inuyama, you will visit Inuyama Castle, Uraku-en Japanese garden, and Karakuri Museum. Inuyama Castle is the oldest existing Japanese castle (built in 1537) and has been registered as a national treasure (one of four national treasure castles in Japan). Uraku-en Japanese garden is celebrated for a beautiful garden and Jo-an, a national treasure tea-ceremony house, which is full of unique designs and one of the three finest tea-houses in Japan. At Shoden-in in the garden, you can enjoy green tea with Japanese sweets (for an additional charge). The tour bus leaves Nagoya University at 13:00 and returns to Nagoya around 18:00.
