Into the book
Nagoya has been looked down upon in many ways within Japan, to the point where there is even a saying, "Nagoya-tobashi."
Tobashi means 'to fly' in Korean.
This slang came to prominence in 1992 when the first Shinkansen (Nozomi 301) connecting Tokyo and Osaka did not stop at Nagoya Station because it was late.
Nowadays, trains of all classes stop at Nagoya Station, but at that time, Nagoya citizens suffered a great blow to their pride.
It is also used when large-scale concerts or famous chain stores do not open in Nagoya.
But these words themselves also show Nagoya's presence.
If it really had no presence, who would care whether it flew or not?
--- p.27, from “Truth and Prejudice in Nagoya”
This is the site of Noritake's first factory in 1904. When the factory was relocated, the remaining buildings were being considered for demolition, but the site was turned into a park to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the company's founding.
The red brick building, which shows the architectural style of the time, has been transformed into an art gallery, museum, experience center, and exhibition hall, and is now a tourist attraction attracting many people.
The chimneys and kiln walls, reminiscent of an old factory, as well as the fountain, walking path, and small stream create a beautiful resting place.
--- p.70, from “The Forest of Noritake”
This is a hitsumabushi restaurant that is ranked number one in the Nagoya restaurant category according to user reviews on the travel information site 'TripAdvisor'.
Hitsumabushi is served in a round wooden bowl with rice and eel. It can be divided into four pieces with a wooden spatula and enjoyed in four different ways.
There are three ways to eat it: eating just the eel and rice, mixing it with seaweed, wasabi, green onions, etc., pouring green tea over it and eating it, and finally, the most delicious way.
The crispy yet soft taste is superb.
--- p.74, from "Maruya Honten"
In summer, kakigori is added to the menus of some cafes and restaurants in Japan.
Also, a flag with the character ‘Ice’ written on it hangs in front of the store.
It is said that this originated in the late 19th century when the number of ice shops increased rapidly and the number of people suffering from food poisoning increased, so only shops that passed a hygiene inspection were allowed to raise a flag indicating that they sold ice.
Unlike our shaved ice, Japanese kakigori is usually made of finely shaved ice with fruit-flavored syrup sprinkled on top without any toppings.
Enjoying kakigori in Japan on a hot summer day will add to the fun of your trip.
--- p.193, from "The Taste of Summer, Kakigori"
There are approximately 200 railway companies in Japan, and the country is highly dependent on railways, accounting for over 40% of passenger transport.
Perhaps that's why there are so many 'railroad nerds' (railroad + nerds), and you can often find animations, broadcasts, and games themed on them.
For those "train enthusiasts," as well as travelers with children, I recommend the SLM Railway Museum. Operated by JR Central, this railway museum opened in March 2011.
Through exhibits of actual railway vehicles, visitors can learn about the structure and history of railways, as well as their technological advancements, and how they have influenced Japanese society, economy, culture, and lifestyle.

Publisher's Review
A trip to Nagoya, where tradition and modernity coexist
Covering all major areas of Nagoya, including Nagoya Station, Sakae, Nagoya Castle, and Osu.
A travel guide to the Nagoya area, accessible by train in about 30 minutes.
Up-to-date information on must-see attractions, restaurants, shopping, and more in Nagoya.
Detailed maps and route maps for each area of Nagoya, as well as recommended itineraries.
Mission in Nagoya
Into the hidden charm of Nagoya!
As we enter the COVID-19 pandemic era, the number of travelers heading to nearby Japan has increased.
If you're looking for a more secluded travel destination compared to the always-bustling tourist destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, look no further than Nagoya.
As a transportation hub in Japan, it offers the convenience of traveling anywhere, and you can experience everything from the unique atmosphere of a big city to a quiet atmosphere.
"Nagoya Self-Travel" is the best choice to discover the charm of Nagoya that we didn't know about.
The book first introduces things that travelers should see, eat, and buy through keywords such as 'landmarks,' 'Nagoya Meshi (Nagoya + rice),' and 'souvenirs.'
It includes everything from observation decks, which are a must-see attraction for city trips, to nearby attractions frequented by locals, to walking spots where you can experience everyday life.
It also contains basic information that travelers should know, such as weather, prices, taxes, and public holidays, as well as humorous anecdotes that stem from prejudices about Nagoya.
This book offers recommended itineraries tailored to the length of your stay, your companions, and themes. Even for a two-night, three-day trip, it offers a variety of itineraries, from short trips that only visit Nagoya's key attractions to courses focused on delicious restaurants and walking courses for contemplatives.
For families traveling with parents or children, this itinerary includes spots like hot springs and theme parks, as well as Nagoya's representative tourist destinations.
In addition, travel methods and recommended courses for each region help individuals make their own choices.
Enjoy Nagoya
Nagoya's major areas and nearby tourist destinations in one book!
Nagoya is less well-known as a tourist destination compared to other Japanese cities, but it lives up to its title as one of the "three major cities in Japan" and has a well-established food tour and sightseeing route.
Nagoya's unique local cuisine is called "Nagoya Meshi," and dishes such as hitsumabushi (eel rice bowl), tebasaki (fried chicken wings), and miso-flavored pork cutlet tempt travelers.
You can also take the Meguru Bus to see landmarks such as Nagoya Castle, Chubu Electric Power Mirai Tower, and Oasis 21, making sightseeing easy.
"Nagoya Self-Travel" begins around Nagoya Station, the center of travel in central Japan, and covers Sakae, home to restaurants and shopping spots; Osu, filled with international restaurants and vintage shops; Nagoya Castle, home to Nagoya's representative landmarks; and southern Nagoya, home to Nagoya Port and Atsuta Shrine.
The nearby areas include Tokoname, Inuyama, and Kuwana, which are perfect for a day trip from Nagoya.
Ghibli Park, which has brought the world of Studio Ghibli to life through works such as [My Neighbor Totoro] and [Howl's Moving Castle], has not yet opened all areas to the public, but has provided information on how to make reservations and get there.
The major spots introduced by region are tourist attractions, restaurants, shopping shops, and accommodations in that order.
In addition, the book is packed with information that will help you gain a deeper understanding of the attractions, culture, and more.
This revised edition significantly updates spots that have disappeared or appeared due to the impact of COVID-19, and also updates information such as operating hours, directions, and increased fares.
Special Page
Special destinations for a more enriching trip
"Nagoya Self-Travel" features a special page featuring travel destinations tailored to each traveler's tastes, from quiet old streets to bustling theme parks.
If you don't have much time, take the Meguru Bus or subway to Shikemichi, which has preserved its old buildings to create a unique landscape; Kakuozan, lined with cafes and restaurants targeting young people; Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens, filled with the happy laughter of children; and Tsurumai Park, a famous cherry blossom spot in Nagoya.
For family travelers, we also recommend Legoland Japan or the newly added Linear Railway Park in this revised edition.
The filming location of the movie [The Handmaiden], Rokkaen, is a must-see destination, accessible in less than 30 minutes by train.
Unlike theme parks like Legoland, it's a great place to spend some quiet time.
