What to see in Inuyama

• Inuyama Castle - 犬山城 Inuyamajō - 35.3883, 136.9393 ¥750 adults, ¥210 kids The only privately owned castle in Japan and one of the nicest original examples of feudal Japanese fortifications. It was built in 1537 by Oda Nobuyasu, grandfather of Oda Nobunaga and the warlord who helped end the long civil war that preceded the Tokugawa Shogunate. Inuyama is one of a handful of castles designated a Japanese national treasure. You can obtain look at the original wooden structure.

• The Japan Monkey Center is a few minutes way from Inuyama station on bus, clearly sign-posted with ape statues and colorful paintings. On the plus side and the Center has a remarkable collection of monkeys and apes, with a wider variety of primates than even most world-class zoos. On the negative side, however, like too many Japanese zoos and the animals live in cramped conditions - mostly unadorned cement blocks with a single cross-bar - and have little in the way of enrichment, leaving many of them distinctly bored. It's open March - Nov 9:30AM Monday - 5PM, until July - Aug: 9:30AM Monday - 6PM , and December - Feb 11 9:30AM Monday - 4:30PM. The center is closed for the rest of February. Admission is ¥1500 for adults and ¥800 for kids.
• The Japan Monkey Park is an amusement park next door to the Japan Monkey Center, with rides intended for human beings. (Monkeys are exclusively of the cartoon variety here.) Dual admission tickets can be purchased for both locations.
• Little World, a 20-minutes bus ride away from Inuyama station. A miniature Expo that tries to reconstruct or import houses from all over the world, together with souvenir shops and restaurants - nice for a day visit. Buses depart from bus stop 1 east of Inuyama station, one-way fare is ¥480. One ticket for adults is ¥1600, for foreign students ¥1000 (meaning foreign people studying at a Japanese university).

• Meiji Mura Museum - 明治村 - 35.340598, 136.98873 Opening Hours: March - October 9:30AM Monday - 5PM; November - Feb: 9:30AM Monday - 4PM Adult ¥1600 (or ¥2200 with a pass on the antique bus, trolley, and train rides) (明治村), about 20 minutes by bus from Inuyama station, houses a large collection of Meiji-era architecture from all over Japan and even as far away as Brazil, Hawaii, and Seattle. The effect is like that of a ghost town - visitors can walk through the buildings at their leisure, and each one is full of vintage furnishings, as if it were still in use. Fans of Japanese literature may enjoy the summer house of writer Soseki Natsume, where he reportedly wrote his classic novel I Am A Cat. The signature piece, however, is the lobby of the old Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Imperial Hotel (1923-1965) in Tokyo.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Inuyama

Over a hundred years ago, one of the first European visitors to the region remarked upon the Kiso River's resemblance to the Rhine. Today, you'll find rather more power lines, steel spans and vending machines than the comparison was intended to support, but the Kiso River still makes for a lovely walk in either direction. Cormorant fishing, known locally as ukai, takes place on summer nights. Fishermen using fire, nets and trained birds make for an exciting spectacle.

Halal Food & Restaurants

There are very few restaurants in the station area. The Japan Monkey Center, close to the station, has a restaurant/cafeteria.

Cafe Million Dollar, somewhat less grand than the name suggests, serves drinks. It's a couple doors down from Inuyama station, toward the river.
