Gyoda Castle, which was constructed nearly 500 years ago and also known as NOBO NO SHIRO (The Floating Castle).

Gyoda is also famous for "Tabi" the Japanese traditional sock people put on with Kimono. You can visit the castle and even go inside of it to experience more history of Gyoda. A nice park with named "Suijyou Koen" is really enjoyable in all four seasons.
