名古屋の観光スポット
あなたと Japan Rail Pass

名古屋へようこそ

Beautiful Nagoya is Japan’s fourth largest city just after 東京都, 横浜, 大阪, with a population of almost 9 million people. The city is perhaps best known for its huge automotive industry. Large industries such as Honda, Mitsubishi, and Toyota are located here. As if that wasn’t enough, the city is said to be home to Japan’s special samurai and ninja culture.

名古屋城

Nagoya Castle is like something out of a Studio Ghibli cartoon. With its curved roof and unique architecture, the castle looks just like in the Japanese fairy tales.

　 green traditional roofs are decorated with golden shachihoko – a mythical Japanese animal with a head like a tiger and a body like a carp. Legend has it that shachihoko can make rain fall and is a common feature on important Japanese buildings to protect against fire and conflagration.

The castle is hard to miss as all of Nagoya seems to revolve around its mystery. Wander around the beautiful castle gardens, explore the castle, and finally stop for a cup of tea in the quaint tea house.

熱田神宮

Atsuta Jingu is one of Japan’s largest and most famous temples for the worship of the natural spiritual Shinto religion. About 9 million people visit here every year to worship the sun goddess Amaterasu and the sacred sword Kusanagi.

Don’t miss a visit to the associated museum where you can see ancient weapons, paintings, and clothing from Japan at the time. Stroll around the sanctuary in the wooded park, enjoying the surroundings and the amazing architecture.

After your spiritual worship or tourist visits, don’t miss trying the temple’s version of Kishimen noodles, a true local Nagoya specialty.

大須観音

大須観音は 12 世紀にすでに建てられていましたが、何度も大きな洪水で被害を受けたため、その存命中に再建と移転が繰り返されました。ただし、何も表示されません。この寺院は壮麗な姿を誇らしげに建っており、慈悲の女神である観音様を祀る準備が整っています。その歴史的な精神性にもかかわらず、寺院は単独で建てられているわけではありません。

Right next door is a large shopping area, a library with 15,000 classic Japanese texts, and a flea market that is open twice a month. These two opposites make the temple a little extra interesting and worth a visit.
