Nagoya Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Must visit place in Nagoya - Nagoya Castle

I went to Nagoya Castle during the blooming of sakura and it was so beautiful. However the main tower is closed for renovation. Despite that, there are so many other things to explore around the castle. The high walls and the buildings structure of the castle are well preserved and maintained. There are also beautiful parks and gardens within the compound. Overall a must visit when you are in Nagoya. The admission fee was 500 yen for one adult during my visit in April 2023.

Special Heritage Site - Nagoya castle lightup

During the annual Japan sakura season - visit this special heritage site. Nagoya castle usually closes by 5pm but extends till 8pm during the precious sakura season. You can catch more than 1,000 sakura trees here and also visit this place with a castle filled with gold paintings and artwork. recommended duration would be 1-2 hours here for those into tradition and history

Nagoya Castle

Entrance fee for adult is ¥500, you can get ¥100 discount if you show them Shoryudo Nagoya Subway & Bus 1-Day Pass. They happen to have ninja and samurai show near the entrance, funny and entertaining. The castle is currently under preservation and repairing work, therefore we cannot enter, from the outside you can see huge cracks along the wall at foundation of the castle. You can however enter and visit the new building showcasing variety of rooms that the lord and officials use for their meetings back in the days. #passionpassport #gooutside #urbanexplorer #nagoya #japan #nagoyacastle #castle

Fun at Legoland Japan

No long queues, nice dining experience and great rides for the kids. Adults get to enjoy a few more thrilling rides at ninja go. The submarine ride is amazing and feels like a real underwater experience! The Lego miniland is amazing with the landmarks of Japan. Kids get to learn driving a car as well at the driving school and catered for different ages. Recommended! #themepark

Japan Legoland

#celebratewithtrip Legoland Japan is located In Nagoya as a Lego fans I will strongly recommend to go and the Mini-land here is very nice . Getting to Legoland is pretty simple. From Nagoya Station, the city’s primary rail hub, it just a 24-minute ride on the Aonami Line to Kinjofuto Station, near the Ise Bay shoreline. Once off the train, Legoland is a 10-minute stroll away.

Only the best is good enough! ❤️

Cool Water Features in Nagoya

Went to Mirai Tower in Nagoya and there were lots of refreshing manmade ponds and fountains to see, I also saw a pet Meerkat!

This tower looks like a small Eiffel Tower. It is good to see it lit at night although the lights could be more colorful. A landmark in Nagoya, it is near Oasis 21 and located within a park. The tower is impressive not only because of its height but also due to its location. This wasn't part of my itinerary but it's a few blocks away from my hotel. Seems the lights from the tower is inviting so even after a long day of walking and touring around couldn't resist making a turn and see the place. There are dining shops in the area where you can enjoy local food and beers. It's a nice place to hang out and have a chill night. #givethanks #givethanks

There is a lot to do in Port of Nagoya with the Public Aquarium being the most popular. There you can enjoy the dolphin show which is so amazing and world class dolphin performance. The entry fee is ¥2000. The amount is more than worthwhile specially when going with kids. The Port has many things to offer not just seeing many creatures of the sea but also to be educated of different species and their habitats. After going around from corner to corner of the aquarium. there is also a shopping mall and a lot of restaurants with lots of choices with their savory food to rest and refresh of tiring yet enjoyable tour inside and outside the aquarium which theme park is also located that offers many rides. 🐬🐬🐬

This is a very fantastic aquarium. There many fishes and water animals. White Dolphin Beluga, Killer Whales, Turtles and many beautiful jellyfishes. You can go for walking, couples, families and friends.The aquarium was just like an amusement park. You can enjoy with anybody. Everything was so beautiful and you can enjoy the time a lot there. Stuffs were very nice and kind. Its really great to go there especially on rainy day. The highlight of the aquarium is the shows, both indoor and outdoor. The Sardine Tornado is quite a unique, it dances with light and sound. The second best is the Beluga Show which I've never seen in any other aquarium before. For the Orca and Dolphin show is similar to others aquarium. If you want to experience them all, you need to organize the time and the routing inside the building well. All Nagoya residences are proud of this aquarium for sure!! #givethanks #givethanks

Port of Nagoya Aquarium

From my hotel I had the choice to go to either Legoland or Port of Nagoya & considering the distance/price; I chose the latter. Safe to say I was not disappointed! Having visited a few aquariums already, the maintenance of the sea-animals and the dedication/friendliness with which the staff work and help visitors was great! The exhibits with the whales, dolphins and my personal fav BELUGA’s was just great! You could just spend hours watching them In marvel! I assumed that there would be heaps of tourists but judging by the families and the amount of stuff they got there was also a lot of local crowd from Nagoya itself just to enjoy the weekend with their kids which shows it’s a very well loved spot! There’s also a mall sort of place nearby with lots of food options and if you want to announce you’re in Nagoya to your friends and family; there’s a City name display just outside the Port of Nagoya! Surely worth a visit and if possible try checking the times for their shows specially the “Sardine Tornado” it’s a visual spectacle #Japan #Nagoya #portofnagoyaaquarium

Nagoya's most sacred Shrine ⛩

#wecreate This place, shine, temple, garden, space out of our time line is located in Nagoya, a not so visited city of Japan compared with others, but it does have some of the most impressive places that I saw during my last visit. The Atsura Jingu was built around 1900 years ago, and currently is the most sacred place in the city. Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi sword being one of imperial Japan religia makes this shrine it's home. After a walk by its gardens we had some traditional Eel just a few minutes walking from it. Very special and unique place to be. #japan #Nagoya #shrine #temple #history #foodie #本地遊#tripblazers Address: 🗺 〒456-8585; 1-1-1 Jingu, Atsuta-Ward, Nagoya-City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan

Storing the sacred sword of the imperial regalia, this Shinto shrine is well worth a visit even though there are few English signs. Arriving at Jingu Nishi station follow the sign marked 300 m to the west entrance. After 2-3 minutes turn left & follow the crowds along the tree lined walk-way to the main shrine. After offering prayers, walk to the left & around to the back of the shrine, continuing the path until reaching steps by a stream. There enjoy flicking water onto the central rock with the wooden ladles while making a wish! The path eventually leads back to the entrance. I was impressed by the atmosphere. There is a hand washing area for tourists to wash there hands before started to pray. The day I visited was coincident with a wedding ceremony(I think). A paid museum is located inside as well. Be sure the opening hours when planning a visit. #givethanks #givethanks

After catching up with the cherry blossoms of the day, the fatigue of the journey almost made us pass the hot building of the Atsuta Shrine, one of the three major shrines in Japan. The Atsuta Shrine is built in the style of the gods and has a history of 1900 years. The main shrine of the shrine is the hot god, one of the highest-ranking shrines in Japan, with more than 2,000 pieces of antiques, literature and art, covering an area of nearly 200,000 square meters. Various large-scale events are often held here, with traditional Japanese weddings being the most common. The hot field festival on June 5th is the hottest time of the Atsuta Shrine, and you can enjoy the lantern event and the fireworks show.
