Nagoya Castle completed 1612

Wide moats and sloping walls

Nagoya Castle completed 1612 but most of the buildings in the complex were burned down during the World War II air raids in 1945. Fortunately, however, three corner towers, three gates, and most of the paintings on the sliding doors and walls in the Hommaru Palace survived the fire.

Always lots of students visiting the castles.

I’m guessing this may be the 12th castle I have visited in Japan. It puts into perspective life many hundreds of years ago.

Coming through the gate you get a feeling of the history of this wonderful castle.

Here is my new friend. 🙂

A peek at how the deadly Samurai used to look.

The castle really is a magnificent structure.

Nagoya Castle completed 1612 is rather breathtaking.

Stand in line & take off your shoes.

I actually gave this section a miss.

A beautiful display of Bonsai flowers.

Beauty in many forms is around every corner in Japan.

The two Samurai pose for my photo.

All part of life’s rich pageant. 🙂

My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets. I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington. Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand. What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :) I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit. Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ???? Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia. Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
