Nagoya Attractions

 
Nagoya, chief town of Aichi prefecture and Japan's fourth largest city, lies in central Honshu. Its situation in the spacious Ise Bay, opening on to the Pacific, has favored the development of the port, which is now the third largest in Japan (after Yokohama and Kobe). It is also an important industrial center.

The economic rise of Nagoya began with the Meiji reforms. Its main industrial activities are heavy industry, shipbuilding and automobile manufacture, together with chemicals and pharmaceuticals, textiles and ceramics (this last continuing a tradition established in the 12th C in nearby Seto). Many factories and workshops can be visited.
