This is the place where the Honmaru Palace was built in 1612 located at Nagoya Castle, Nagoya, Japan. It was later destroyed during WW2 Bombing May 14, 1945.
The City of Nagoya is currently promoting the restoration of the Hommaru Palace and aims to open a section of the entrance to the palace for public viewing in 2010, the 400th anniversary year of the founding of Nagoya , and to complete the reconstruction by 2017 (approx.).
Recently the concrete for the foundation was poured and the process of getting wood for the structure has begun.
