Nagoya City Guide Nagoya Castle Nagoya Castle was build by Ieyasu Tokugawa, the first shogun of the Edo shogunate in 1612. Most of the original buildings were burned down in 1945 during the World War II. The current donjon was reconstructed in 1959. “Kinshachi” (golden killer whale) is a symbol of the Nagoya Castle. Tokugawa garden and Tokugawa art museum Tokugawa garden was once a residence of the old samurai manor and the Museum preserves the extensive holdings of the Owari branch of the Tokugawa family, including National Treasures, such as the “Tale of Genji” picture scrolls, and 59 registered Important Cultural Properties. Atsuta Shrine (see the right map) Atsuta Shrine was founded more than 1,500 years ago by Emperor Keiko. Although most Japanese major shrines are rebuilt every 60-120 years, the strcture of Atsuta Shrine should reflect old style. It enshirines the sacred sword, “Kusanagi no tsurugi”, which is one of Three Sacred Treasures of Japan. Three Sacred Treasures of Japan represented the authority and stature of Japan's emperors. (General public cannot see it.) Banquet is held at the wedding ceremony hall of this shrine.

Attractions outside of Nagoya Ise Grand Shrine Ise Grand Shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikmai, the supreme deity, who is the ancestor of Japanese emperors. It is 100 km away from Nagoya. Inuyama Castle Inuyama Castle was built in 1537 and one of the oldest castles in Japan. It is also a national treasure of Japan. Nearby Urakuen garden has several teahouses, one of which is also a national treasure of Japan. Meiji village This park reproduces an old Japanese town in Meiji period (1868-1912) with sixty Meiji buildings that have been brought and rebuilt.

Nagoya cuisines (biased list) Miso-katsu: Pork cutlet with miso saurce Miso-nikomi: Udon noodle cooked with miso soup Miso-oden: Boiled vegitables and fish paste with miso saurce Hitsumabushi: Cooked eal over rice, you eat it in three different ways Tebasaki: Fried chicken wings with spicy teriyaki sauce (sort of) Kishimen: Flat udon noodle (I may be killed by Nagoya natives by describing it this way) Ogura toast: Sweet red bean paste sandwitched by toasted bread Ankake spagetti: Spagetti with spicy meat sauce with vegitables and Vienna sausages Taiwan ramen: Ramen noodle with spicy soup, but it does not really originate from Taiwan Please see this site for more details and restaurants, <http://www.nagoya-info.jp/en/eat/>
