💡 Tips for Visitors

Entry costs ¥500 for adults with discounts available for students and seniors; note that the main keep is currently closed but the Honmaru Palace remains accessible (remove shoes before entering). Visit early in the morning to avoid summer crowds and bring cash as smaller vendors may not accept cards. The castle is easily accessible from Nagoyajo Station Exit 7, and don't miss trying the local Ninja ice cream from nearby shops for a fun post-visit treat.
