About Nagoya

Nagoya is a big industrial city in central Japan, with a castle topped by golden ornaments, an ancient shrine and a food culture all its own.

Nagoya is one of Japan's biggest cities, set on a broad plain at the head of Ise Bay and long a centre of the country's car and machinery industries. Its castle, built by the Tokugawa in the early 1600s, is topped by a pair of golden shachihoko, mythical fish with tigers' heads, and the keep was rebuilt after the war with a restored palace beside it. Atsuta Shrine, among the most venerated in Japan, houses a sacred sword.
