Nagoya : practical information
Visit Nagoya
Nagoya is Japan’s fourth-largest city and the beating industrial heart of central Honshu. Anchored by historic sites, a formidable food culture and world-class museums, Nagoya balances feudal power with modern manufacturing might. It’s a city for travellers who value substance, efficiency and local character.
Wedged neatly between Tokyo and Osaka on Japan’s main shinkansen artery, it's home to Toyota Motor Corporation and the broader Chūkyō industrial region. If you took Nagoya out of Japan’s economic equation, the country would feel it immediately. Aichi alone accounts for close to 10% of Japan’s total manufacturing output, and if the prefecture were a standalone nation, its GDP would comfortably place it among the world’s top 20 economies. This is a city built on precision, iteration and scale. You can feel that mindset in the streets.
The city’s history also carries real weight. Nagoya was the seat of the powerful Owari branch of the Tokugawa clan, one of the most influential families of Japan’s Edo period. That legacy still shapes the city’s layout, landmarks and sense of authority.
Explore the must-see attractions of Nagoya
Nagoya Castle remains the city’s most recognisable landmark, rebuilt with remarkable fidelity after wartime destruction and crowned by its famous golden shachihoko. South of the centre, Atsuta Shrine sits within a forested precinct that feels worlds away from the surrounding city, quietly housing the legendary Kusanagi sword, one of Japan’s three imperial regalia. For street life, vintage fashion and unapologetic chaos, Osu Shopping Street remains the city’s most characterful district.
Staying central makes these easy to explore. ibis Styles Nagoya places you within reach of Osu and Fushimi, while Mercure Nagoya Cypress offers fast access to Nagoya Station and regional rail lines. Transport is efficient without being overwhelming. The subway network is intuitive, colour-coded and mercifully less crowded than Tokyo’s. Neighbourhoods are distinct without feeling isolated. You can move from the glass towers of Meieki to temple grounds, shopping arcades or riverside paths in minutes.
Nagoya’s dining scene reflects the city’s personality. Hitsumabushi, the local eel speciality, is served with ritualised seriousness. Tebasaki chicken wings arrive lacquered in pepper and sauce, sticky and addictive. Even casual eateries tend to specialise rather than generalise, doing one thing extremely well. This is a city that respects process, whether it’s brewing miso or assembling engines.

Midscale accommodation is where Nagoya quietly excels. Mercure Nagoya Cypress offers a level of comfort that feels generous by Japanese standards, with larger rooms, proper workspaces and a calm, functional design language.
