Town of International Friendship `INUYAMA`
Inuyama is an ancient castle town located in the northwest
of Aichi Prefecture. It is part of the Hida-Kiso Quasi-National Park. The town
is noted for historical sites and its natural beauty. Inuyama Castle, the center
of the town, was built by a warrior general, Nobuyasu Oda, in 1537. The history
of the town, however, goes back to the ancient `Kofun` period, when people
built many gigantic mound-like tombs. Inuyama has grown as a tourist town because
of its historical sites, old temples and shrines, and other tourist attractions.
In 1987, it was designated an International
Tourism Area.
