Nagoya, a city of two and a half million, claims the title of Japan's forth largest city and has been the crossroads between eastern and western Japan for centuries.
Nagoya provides a gateway to Inuyama, site of one of Japan's few original castles and home to an outstanding open air museum featuring Meiji era architecture; Ise, home of Japan's most sacred Shinto shrine; and Hikone, another original castle. You'll find good food in Nagoya, especially local chicken, kishimen noodles and sukiyaki, using premium Matsuzaka beef raised nearby.
Nagoya borders Japan's two large plains; Kanto, with Tokyo as its centre, and Kansai, with Osaka/Kyoto as its centre.
The above photo is an ariel view of Nagoya taken from the TV Tower in the center of the city.
