Seeing the sights in Nagoya

Today I travelled all around Nagoya, I saw three major sights: Nagoya Castle, Osu Kannon, and Atsutu shrine. Nagoya castle was developed in the 1600’s and used to establish Nagoya as a major capital during the time period. Pieces of the castle were destroyed during world war 2 but it has been put back together. Below is a picture of Nagoya castle



Osu Kannon is a Buddhist temple that was built in the 1300’s. It looks cool so I wanted to check it out. Below is a picture.



Atsutu shrine was built at the beginning of the century which makes it about 2000 years old. It is a Shinto shrine. It has about 9 million people visit it annually. Below is a picture.
