Japan's fourth-largest city sits halfway between Tokyo and Kyoto and is often skipped by visitors, which is their loss. Strong industrial identity (Toyota's headquarters are nearby), excellent food culture, and a distinctive dialect. The Nagoya basho moved to the brand-new IG Arena in 2025 - it replaces the long-time home, the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium adjacent to Nagoya Castle. July sumo is brutally humid; the building's air-conditioning is non-negotiable.
- Nagoya Castle↗ - Reconstructed keep with golden shachihoko on the roof. Interior reconstruction ongoing.
- Atsuta Shrine↗ - One of Shintō's holiest sites - traditionally home to the legendary Kusanagi sword.
- Sakae district↗ - Shopping, nightlife, and the iconic Mirai Tower in Hisaya-Ōdōri Park.
- Tokugawa Art Museum↗ - Treasures of the Owari Tokugawa clan - the Tale of Genji scrolls live here.
- Nagoya City Science Museum↗ - Houses the world's largest planetarium dome at 35m.
- Hitsumabushi↗ひつまぶし - Grilled eel over rice, eaten three ways: plain, with garnishes, then as ochazuke.
- Miso katsu↗味噌カツ - Pork cutlet drowned in dark Aichi red-miso sauce. Polarising but defining.
- Tebasaki↗手羽先 - Sweet-spicy fried chicken wings, a Nagoya invention (Sekai-no-Yamachan is the chain to try).
- Kishimen↗きしめん - Flat, wide udon noodles - a Nagoya speciality.
- Ankake spaghetti↗あんかけスパゲッティ - Thick, peppery starch-based sauce over spaghetti. Unique to Nagoya.
