About Nagoya

The capital of the Aichi region and the fourth-most populous city in Japan, Nagoya is a huge manufacturing and shipping hub and a popular destination for both business and leisure travellers. Accommodation options range from simple city hotels to chic boutique boltholes. Our pick of the best places to stay in Nagoya is tucked within the city’s famous TV tower, an important local landmark.

Discover the city through guided walking tours and visits to historic neighbourhoods. The iconic Nagoya Castle, a royal home dating back to 1612 and now displaying an impressive collection of artefacts from the Edo era, is a great place to start. The surrounding Naha district boasts museums, historic gambling parlours and a lively entertainment scene. The Atsuta Jingo Shrine is another cultural highlight. Museum-goers will love the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry & Technology, the City Science Museum, the Tokugawa Art Museum.
