Atsuta nagaya is a traditional Japanese townhouse (machiya) located in the Atsuta area of Nagoya. It has been renovated and repurposed into a complex that houses various shops, cafes, and restaurants. It aims to blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern functionality, offering a unique cultural and commercial experience.
Located in Nagoya, Atsuta Jingu is one of Japan’s most revered Shinto shrines. It is believed to house the legendary Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, one of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan, though the sacred sword is not on public display. The shrine’s Treasure Hall features an impressive collection of historic artifacts, including samurai swords. Surrounded by ancient trees, Atsuta Jingu draws millions of visitors each year with its serene atmosphere and deep cultural significance.
Osu Shopping Street is a huge, vibrant shopping district located in Nagoya City. You'll find every kind of shop imaginable there, from youth fashion, vintage clothing, electronics, and anime goods, to international cuisine and traditional Japanese stores. It has a unique atmosphere, blending old and new, Japanese and Western, and it's also very popular with both locals and tourists for its great street food. The area developed around Osu Kannon Temple.
Nagoya Castle is Nagoya's iconic landmark castle, built by Ieyasu Tokugawa in the early Edo period. It's famous for its golden shachihoko (mythical carp-like creatures) on the roof and once flourished as the residence of the Owari Tokugawa family. Although much of it was destroyed during World War II, the main keep and other structures have since been rebuilt, and the lavish Honmaru Palace has also been restored. It's a popular tourist spot where you can experience Nagoya's history and culture. ※Please note that currently, the main keep (Tenshukaku) is undergoing renovation, so it's not possible to go inside and climb to the top.
It is a commercial complex right next to Nagoya Castle, featuring a collection of restaurants and souvenir shops. It's packed with eateries where you can savor local Nagoya cuisine, and it's divided into two areas: the "Yoshinao Zone" and the "Muneharu Zone." It's the perfect place to stop for a meal or to find souvenirs when you visit Nagoya Castle.
