Nagoya Travel Tips
Nagoya (名古屋) is a vibrant metropolis and Japan's fourth-largest city, boasting a population of over two million. As the capital of Aichi Prefecture, it serves as the main hub of the Nobi plain, an important industrial and metropolitan area on Honshu Island. Originally developed as the castle town for the Owari branch of the Tokugawa family during the Edo Period, Nagoya is rich in history, although much of its historic architecture was lost during the air raids of 1945.
Today, Nagoya combines a dynamic urban atmosphere with cultural heritage, including the iconic Nagoya Castle. The city is also known for its industrial significance, housing the headquarters of the Toyota Motor Corporation just outside its borders. Visitors can explore unique attractions, savor local cuisine, and enjoy the city's blend of modernity and tradition.
