Is it worth visiting Japan’s 4th largest city

Nagoya may not be the most popular nor biggest city in Japan but it is definitely worth visiting especially when transmitting to Shirakagowa. Nagoya is the 4th largest city besides Tokyo, Osaka and Yokohama. It is the major transport hub between Osaka, Tokyo and Kyoto.

Main attractions includes Nagoya castle, Ghibli Park, Hisaya Odori Park, Nagoya TV tower which is one of the oldest TV towers in Japan. Nagoya is located around 90mins away from Tokyo by bullet train. Two to three days in Nagoya is more than enough. Best months to visit are March to May which is dry and sunny.

Nagoya is famous for local produce of fresh water eel called unagi, deep fried chicken wings (Tebasaki), deep fried pork cutlet and Kishinev (flat wheat noodles) are all must try food.

You can make a side trip from Nagoya to Shirakawago and Gokayama, Kiso Valley, Takayama, Gero Onsen and Inuyama. Nagoya has one of the scenic sunset view as well when you catch it at the right time!
