Nagoya Hotels

General Information

One of the most important urban areas and commercial ports in all of Japan, Nagoya is a wonderful city to discover. The city of 2 million people is at the heart of a metro region that has close to 8 million people and is the capital of Aichi Prefecture. Nagoya contains some of the most recognizable landmarks in the country, primarily in the form of Nagoya Castle and Atsuta Shrine. The original town of Nagoya was built around the castle in the early 17th century at the behest of the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Since that time, the city has become a major industrial, economic and cultural hub in Japan.

Atsuta Shrine dates back much further than Nagoya Castle, namely to the late 1st century. The paramount Shinto shrine receives on average, more than 9 million annual visitors. Other fine attractions in Nagoya include the excellent Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
