Nagoya: Where to Eat, What to Do and Where to Stay

Food · Things to do · Where to stay

Nagoya's local dishes are hitsumabushi, miso katsu, tebasaki chicken wings, kishimen and miso-nikomi udon, and the Esca arcade at Nagoya Station holds several of them. Its sights run from Nagoya Castle, whose main keep is closed, and Atsuta Jingu to the SCMAGLEV and Railway Park on the Aonami Line, with Ghibli Park as a day trip by Linimo.

The pages below split the city the way a trip does: where to eat, what to do, and which of four bases to sleep in: Nagoya Station, Sakae, Fushimi or Kanayama.
