Remember to print it out and go to Meitetsu Station to redeem it. The round-trip ticket and the Inuyama Castle admission ticket are already worth a lot. The coupon is great for buying snacks.

The super beautiful Inuyama Castle ~ Inuyama Castle Town also has a retro flavor, but it’s a bit troublesome to exchange tickets. You have to print them out and exchange them at the manual ticket office at Nagoya Station.

easy redemption. the old street at inuyama is nice and less crowded. the castle is popular among the locals. need to queue to head up the castle. can't really take much photos as it's really crowded and u just have to keep walking so that others can enter. there was a traditional performance along the old street when I was there. it was an eye opener for me.

You can buy tickets for the park at the gate, but if you buy 2 unlimited ride tickets, you can only ride once. The park is very big, so you can first decide what exhibitions you want to see and then plan the route. There are also suggested routes at the back of the park map for reference.

It is highly recommended to use this ticket for a one-day free trip to Inuyama. The ticket includes a round-trip ticket to Inuyama Nagoya + an Inuyama Castle ticket + and some coupons that can be used to visit Japanese gardens and street snacks. The redemption is simple and convenient. Inuyama Castle is built on a high ground and is beautiful during the day and at night. It is a perfect place for a leisurely walk without being in a hurry.

It's well worth a visit. Print out your tickets first and then exchange them at the service counter. You can either go to Inuyama Castle or Inuyama Castle Station.

Nagoya Station is so big that I couldn’t find my direction at first. After finding the correct window, the movement line into the platform is very smooth and clear, and it is very convenient to start the half-day tour~

If you are a type of person you really appreciate beautiful history of old Japanese era, this is something highly recommended. Although pretty far from city centre, it is worth checking. A gentle reminder though for a very long walk as this is an outdoor museum. I am glad I have taken this at autumn season.
