Nagoya Castle was built by the "Tenka-Fusu" by the daimyōs of Toyotomi Ongo, who received orders from Tokugawa Ieyasu. When the castle tower was completed in 1612 (Keicho 17), it prospered for a long time as the residence of the Owari Tokugawa family, the head of the three families, and overcame the Meiji Restoration, and in 1930 (Showa 5) it was designated as the first national treasure as a castle.
Nagoya Castle has been loved as a symbol of this area for more than 330 years, but in 1945 (Showa 20), the castle tower and many other buildings were burned down by an air raid. Nevertheless, in 1952 (Showa 27), it was designated as a national special historic site as one of the best castles in Japan that conveys the appearance of the past.
After that, with the great donations of citizens, the steel-framed reinforced concrete castle tower was rebuilt in 1959 (Showa 34). The exterior reproduces the old castle tower, and the interior has been used as a museum to exhibit historical materials and models.
