Nagoya is the biggest city in Central Japan. However, many travellers see Nagoya as nothing more than another milestone en route to Kyoto from Tokyo. Despite being one of the largest cities, Nagoya is often overshadowed by Tokyo and Kyoto when it comes to urban and historical destinations. Those willing to get off the train will find that Nagoya has many amazing and little-known hidden gems!
For starters, the city is home to an impressive castle that is currently undergoing reconstruction using traditional methods. Nagoya Castle is best known for being embellished with golden dolphins, or kinshachi. As if that weren’t enough, Atsuta Jingu is also located in Nagoya. Supposedly this shrine is the resting place of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, a sword that is often hailed as the “Excalibur of the East.”
