Nagoya probably wouldn't make the list of Japan's Top 10 places to visit, but worth a look around if you have a flexible schedule
28 Reviews With its famed golden shachi dolphin roof decorations, Nagoya Castle is the de-facto symbol of the city.

12 Reviews 1900-year-old shrine with lush evergreen forest is best known by one of the three Imperial Regalia, Kusanagi sword. The shrine saw the modification after the Meiji Restoration.

9 Reviews Huge success of Shiratori Garden in 1989 led to a number of Japanese garden reconstructions throughout Japan. Tokugawaen Garden built in 2004 is one of such notable examples slightly based on the gardens of Owari Tokugawa family residence either in Nagoya or Tokyo. The garden features two great...

Coco Ichiban, house of curry: Japanese curry is the best
cvilla007 Says: For less than $10 you can get probably the best food the Japanese ever made. And it's not even their own: curry. But they made curry into something more than the English or Indians could do. They made it palatable and delicious, and Coco makes curry anyway you like it....

The Bullet Train! Shinkansen in Japanese.
Sharrie Says: I took the bullet train from Tokyo to Hiroshima & then to Nagoya. Nagoya is about 3 hours from Tokyo & very close to Kobe & Kyoto. Hiroshima is further west & takes about 5 hours from Tokyo. IMHO, the best way to get around the island of Honshu is by the bullet trains....
cvilla007 Says: So, Atsuta Aeon is definitely the place to go mall-shopping in Nagoya. They have everything. I could spend a whole day there, and I don't really like to shop. There are many great shops in the mall. Beaux-Arts, I think, is one of them.I'm not from Japan, so I get into the...
Atsuta Shrine, a real Japanese treasure
cvilla007 Says: Some people think that there's not any good traditional Japanese culture in Nagoya. I thought so too until I visited Atsuta. You must check it out. The forest has 500-hundred year old trees. This is probably the most important Shinto shrine in Japan. Check out the website...
cvilla007 Says: O-hanami means 'flower-viewing'. It happens around the end of every April. This is the time when the Japanese purge themselves of the past year and prepare for the challenges of a new year (May to April represents a year for most businesses and schools in Japan).If you're in...

taigaa001 Says: Atsuta Jingu Park close to Atsuta Shrine is a nice place to stroll and watch local people play baseball, tennis and other activities. It is also known as the place where Danpusan Tomb Mound, the longest keyhole shaped Kofun in Aichi Prefecture,150 meters in length, is...
4 Reviews The shops at Ossu-Kannon have some really great deals and some really unique stores. I found a complete kimono set for only about 10,000 yen (about $75 US). Just get off at the Kamemaezu or Ossu-Kannon stops on the tsurumai line. Hidaka matsuri (the naked festival) is the most insane celebration I...
