Gold Model of Inuyama Castle Made Over 30 Years Ago Can Be Seen By Everyone
In 1987 in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, at a 450th year celebration of Inuyama Castle being a national treasure, gold leaf was used to cover a model of the castle.
It was 1m 30cm tall, weighed about 360kg, and cost 30 million yen.
For about 4 months, everyone was able to see the model in Inuyama City, but after that it has not been shown because it was said to be gaudy.
However, Inuyama City thought there might be tourists who would visit in order to see the gold model, so it was decided that everyone should be able to see it.

I think many people are happy.”
The model can be seen until December 16th in Inuyama City Cultural Archives.
