Nagoya <strong>Travel</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Overview<br />

The fourth most populated <strong>Japan</strong>ese city, Nagoya is a principal metropolis that started out as a castle town during the Edo Period, and is now<br />

one of the country’s busiest urban hubs.<br />

It is home to one of the most important ports in <strong>Japan</strong> and is also the headquarters of automobile manufacturing giant, Toyota Motor<br />

Corporation.<br />

When To Go<br />

Thousands of cherry blossom trees are found in Nagoya, so the city becomes<br />

a gorgeous scene of white and pink when springtime comes (March – May).<br />

During the summer (June – August), the city experiences hot and humid<br />

weather, so indoor activities such as visiting museums are recommended.<br />

In autumn (September – November), autumn leaves viewing is a popular<br />

activity among locals and tourists, so be ready for crowds in parks and other<br />

viewing spots.<br />

In winter (December – February), much of the city is colourfully illuminated.<br />

To celebrate the Chinese New Year, it becomes even brighter, with lots of red<br />

and yellow lanterns and decorations everywhere.<br />
