  • 東門から入ると最初に現れる櫓

    東門から入り、二の丸庭園を抜けると最初に現れるのが「東南隅櫓」。東南は辰巳の方角にあたることから辰巳櫓とも呼ばれている。1612年頃の築で国の重要文化財に指定されている。西南隅櫓と似ているが、微妙に異なる部分もあるので違いを探してみると面白いかもしれません。

    ... คูน้ำ กำแพงหินขนาดใหญ่ หอประตู และหอคอยประจำทิศ ปัจจุบันคือส่วนหนึ่งจุดเที่ยวชมภายในพื้นที่ปราสาทนาโกย่า แต่อดีตคือยุทธศาสตร์การป้องกันการรุกรานของข้าศึก.

    2019年4月に名古屋城を観光した際に立ち寄りました。名古屋城の表二之門から入ってすぐの場所にある楼閣で、訪れた日は内部公開されておりませんでした。お堀の外側(南側)から見る姿が美しいと思いました。
