What to expect
In Nagoya you find a compact centre around Nagoya Station and Sakae, where offices, shopping, and dining sit alongside cultural spots and museums. The city is easy to navigate, carefully signposted, and offers a sense of space that makes exploring less overwhelming than in larger metropolises.
