# Inuyama Castle

Walking all the way around the top floor, on an outside balcony, is the reward for a real climb. Inside the keep, narrow, steep stairs run from two basement floors up to the fourth floor, while wood about 400 years old creaks underfoot. Still, a 3-year-old who was tired of walking climbed them like a jungle gym. Then the balcony looks out over the Kiso River and, on clear days, Gifu Castle and the high-rises around Nagoya Station. So here, children climb the castle rather than just look at it.
